Summary

Edit Summary

I'm an AI trainer and data scientist with hands-on experience delivering impactful trainings at Koenig Solutions. I've worked on Microsoft certifications (AI-102, DP-100, AI-900), Python for Machine Learning, Generative AI, Prompt Engineering, Azure Databricks, RAG, Agentic AI, Copilot, and LLMs. I enjoy creating practical programs for executives, sales, and HR teams to help them use AI in real-world scenarios. My strengths include generative AI strategy, model fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, agent workflows, and prompt design. Before Koenig, I built ML solutions at Reliance General Insurance and guided projects at NMIMS. Earlier, as an Assistant Professor at Atharva College, I trained students in Python, Data Science, and emerging tech. I love turning complex AI ideas into simple, useful insights that people can apply right away.

Associated with Koenig since August-2023.
