Hi, I'm Vishal.

Software engineer working at the intersection of applied AI, data systems, and backend engineering.

LinkedIn · Email


I build systems that turn complex data into useful, reliable software—from computer vision on industrial edge devices to multimodal retrieval, streaming pipelines, graph analytics, and production Django applications.

I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University (3.90/4.00) and a B.Tech. in Information Technology from IIIT Bhubaneswar. My work is strongest where machine learning meets the engineering required to deploy, operate, and improve it.

What I work on

  • Applied AI: computer vision, multimodal retrieval, RAG, embeddings, and model inference
  • Data systems: streaming, distributed processing, graph analytics, and data collection
  • Backend engineering: Python services, Django, REST APIs, relational and vector storage
  • Production infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, cloud services, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment

Selected work

Project What it does Core stack
Multimodal PDF RAG Pipeline Retrieves and answers questions over ArXiv papers using text and image embeddings. Python, Django, CLIP, FAISS, RocksDB, Groq
NYC Taxi Graph Analytics Processes streaming taxi data and derives graph insights with PageRank and BFS. Kafka, Neo4j, Kubernetes, Docker, Python
Arizona Power Outage Archive Collects hourly outage data from seven Arizona utilities using APIs and browser automation. Python, REST APIs, Selenium, GitHub Actions
Django Blogging Platform A modernized, tested, and deployed blogging platform with authentication and CI. Django, PostgreSQL, Neon, Render, Bootstrap

Experience highlights

  • Delivered industrial computer-vision systems with 95%+ detection and tracking accuracy for enterprise manufacturing environments at Eternal Robotics.
  • Improved edge inference performance by approximately 80% across Jetson-based deployments.
  • Built a computer-vision PDF comparison workflow at Worley that reduced manual engineering drawing inspection time by approximately 65%.
  • Supported graduate-level Data Processing at Scale coursework as an Instructional Assistant at Arizona State University.

Currently interested in

Reliable AI systems, retrieval and search, data-intensive backend platforms, computer vision, and infrastructure that moves prototypes into production.
