परिचय parichaya, introduction

Building with AI, driven by data

I'm a Master's graduate in Computer Science from the University of Paderborn, with two years of research experience at Fraunhofer IEE in Kassel. My work sits where generative AI, computer vision and applied data engineering meet.

I've built multimodal inference pipelines for aerial image analysis and full-stack RAG systems that turn days of requirements work into 20 minutes. I like taking complex, open-ended problems and turning them into clean, practical software.

I work well in interdisciplinary teams, take ownership of what I ship, and learn best by building.

Research Assistant and Intern

Fraunhofer IEE

  • Analysed large-scale energy and infrastructure datasets to support evidence-based decision-making in applied research.
  • Worked with economists, engineers and data scientists to preprocess and deliver high-quality datasets.
  • Translated complex analytical results into clear, reusable data outputs for internal research stakeholders.
  • Completed my Master's thesis on AI-supported analysis of urban infrastructure using VLMs, aerial imagery and geospatial databases.

04/2019 to 06/2019 in Bengaluru, India

Project Intern

Weir Ensci

  • Designed a procurement system in a team of four, optimising order quantities and cost efficiency.
  • Developed a management and sourcing application to improve vendor efficiency.
  • Streamlined industrial inventory tracking with an IoT-based interface.

Things I've built

Research, AI engineering and full-stack work.

Career Kompass: AI Career Coach MVP

Built and deployed an MVP for the founder of Career Kompass. Users paste a job description and upload a CV to get a per-skill gap analysis with match scores, a JD-tailored CV rewrite with before/after diff, a cover letter, and a prioritised action plan. FastAPI backend using DeepSeek with automatic fallback to Llama 3.3 70B on Groq, Supabase auth and saved history, and CV export to PDF and DOCX in multiple templates. CV files are processed in memory and never stored (GDPR by design). Deployed on Vercel and Render.

Generative AI for Aerial Image Analysis

Master's thesis. Evaluated open-source VLMs (Qwen-2.5-VL-7B) via zero-shot & few-shot prompting to classify attic usability across 745 annotated aerial building images, achieving up to 81.6% accuracy. Built a multimodal inference pipeline linking imagery to PostgreSQL geospatial records. Benchmarked 6 VLMs and analysed XAI failure modes including hallucination and spatial misalignment.

GenReq: AI for Requirements Engineering

Co-led architecture of a full-stack AI tool reducing SRS generation from days to 20–30 min at ~$0.60/session. Built a RAG pipeline with LangChain, ChromaDB, and FastAPI for auto-generation of requirements specs, UML diagrams, and LaTeX-compiled PDF reports. Led architecture evolution from Streamlit/SQLite to a React + MongoDB production stack.

  • LangChain
  • RAG
  • FastAPI
  • GPT-4o
  • React
  • MongoDB

XAI for Graph Neural Networks

Analysed the heterogeneous MovieLens100K graph (943 users, 1,682 movies, 80K edges) in PyTorch Geometric. Applied Captum Integrated Gradients to explain a SAGEConv-based GNN via link prediction. Ran ablation experiments (feature-zeroing and timing-edge removal) to validate XAI behaviour on categorical graph data.
