AI Automation Engineer | AI Strategist & Consultant | Quantitative Analyst

Designing AI-powered workflows, agents, and automation systems that turn repetitive processes into reliable, scalable solutions. Combining agentic AI engineering, automation, quantitative analysis, and research-driven problem solving.

Ahmedabad, India · IST (UTC+5:30)

I am an AI Automation Engineer and Analyst at Innodata Inc., and I also work as an AI strategist and consultant. I help identify where AI can create practical leverage, translate business problems into AI solutions, and build working prototypes for real workflows: agentic workflows, RAG systems, research agents, API automations, and human-in-the-loop systems using n8n, Python, LLMs, and local AI.

Evaluation is a big part of my work. I test LLM behaviour, retrieval quality, workflow reliability, and automation performance to understand where and why AI systems succeed or fail. I bring the same quantitative toolkit (statistics, time-series modelling, and Bayesian inference) to quantitative analysis and finance.

Before industry, I was a pre-doctoral research fellow in theoretical physics at Ahmedabad University. My research focused on compact objects in general relativity, including naked singularities, black-hole mimickers, energy extraction, and high-energy particle collisions, and led to four peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Physical Review D and the European Physical Journal C.

Outside work I read research papers, play chess, and watch far too much sci-fi. I am also curious about neuroscience, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology.

  1. TickerBrief: Automated Equity Research Reports

    Type a ticker and get a full equity research report as an interactive web page and a PDF. An n8n workflow pulls prices, fundamentals, peers, SEC filings, and news in parallel; Python computes ratios, technical indicators, and sentiment; and a local LLM writes the narrative in three structured passes, with rule-based fallbacks.

    • FastAPI
    • Ollama
    • yfinance
    • SEC EDGAR
  2. Model Monitoring + Drift Alert Agent

    A local MLOps stack that watches a deployed model. An n8n workflow scores new traffic, logs predictions to Postgres, and measures data, prediction, and target drift with Evidently AI. When a threshold is crossed, a local LLM explains the likely root cause in plain English and posts it to Slack, with a Grafana dashboard for the history.

    • Ollama
    • Postgres

  3. ArXiv Research Analysis Agent

    Monitors arXiv every morning (gr-qc and q-fin by default), filters new papers by keyword, and sends a Telegram brief with a yes/no prompt. On “yes” it downloads the PDF, has a local LLM walk through the paper from first principles, and returns a Markdown report.

    • n8n
    • Ollama
    • ChromaDB
    • Telegram Bot API
  4. Local RAG Document Q&A Agent

    A fully local retrieval-augmented generation pipeline. Upload a PDF, TXT, DOCX, or MD file; it is chunked, embedded with nomic-embed-text, and stored in ChromaDB, and questions are answered by llama3.2 under a strict answer-only-from-context prompt. No cloud APIs, and no data leaves the machine.

    • RAG
    • n8n
    • Ollama
    • ChromaDB
    • Docker
  5. Banking & Financial Stock Analysis

    Quantitative analysis of banking stocks: returns, volatility, correlations, and risk metrics.

    • Python
    • yfinance
    • Pandas
    • Quant
  6. Gravitational-Wave Tests of GR (ppE formalism)

    Bayesian parameter estimation pipelines that test for deviations from General Relativity in gravitational-wave observations, using the parametrized post-Einsteinian (ppE) framework.

    • Parameter estimation
    • Bayesian inference
    • Python
    • Gravitational waves
  7. Credit Score Data Analysis

    EDA of credit datasets focused on default risk, class imbalance, correlations, and interpretability.

    • EDA
    • Pandas
    • Risk
  8. Indian Startup Investment EDA

    Exploratory analysis of Indian startup funding trends, sectors, and investor activity.
