About Me

Pramod's Photo

With a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering, I bring years of experience architecting and deploying enterprise AI solutions across healthcare, life sciences, gaming, EdTech, cybersecurity, finance, and recruitment sectors for clients in the US, Middle East (UAE & KSA), India, and Singapore. I specialize in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI & agentic workflows, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), with deep expertise in MLOps, fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT), and multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

My work spans the full lifecycle of AI system delivery, from research and experimentation to cloud deployment and large-scale production systems. I have delivered more than 15 production AI systems and led the development of platforms that reduced operational effort, improved decision-making, and scaled across global organizations. My background combines applied AI engineering with healthcare and life sciences research, including clinical trial prediction systems, large-scale analytics platforms, and full-stack AI applications built end-to-end from idea to production.

I am passionate about building AI systems that move beyond prototypes and deliver measurable impact in real-world environments.
