Agriculture and rural technology
Farming roots continue to shape the problems I choose to work on and the people I want technology to serve.
04 Living / About
The work makes more sense when you know where it comes from.
Farming roots, a teacher’s influence, two decades in technology, and a continuing habit of learning by building.
The throughline
Farming. Education. Technology.
I grew up in a farming family in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, with a teacher for a father. Agriculture, education, and technology have stayed connected throughout my life. Krishi AI brings those threads together: practical, local-language AI support for farmers, built as an independent, bootstrapped product.
I am a Zürich-based AI/ML engineer and product builder focused on reliable, evaluated machine-learning systems. My path spans software testing, release and programme leadership, cloud engineering, NLP classification, LLM and RAG systems, and hands-on product development.

A path shaped by range
From quality and delivery to AI products.
My professional journey moved through test management, programme and release leadership, cloud and data systems, machine learning, and now LLM-based product development. The roles changed; the interest in making complex systems dependable did not.
