Hi! I'm Ankush

I leverage AI and Machine Learning to solve real-world problems.

About

I'm a Mechanical Engineer from IIT Delhi, now driving AI innovation as an AI/ML Engineer. My focus is on solving real-world problems using machine learning, LLM-based automation, and advanced data engineering. Passionate about rapid prototyping, end-to-end ML pipelines, and multidisciplinary collaboration, I enjoy building scalable solutions — from retrieval-augmented generation platforms to model-based optimization and full-stack data apps.
