M.S. Computer Science student at North Carolina State University, GPA 3.83/4.0, GSSP Fellow, with experience across machine learning, software engineering, computer vision, ML infrastructure, generative AI, scientific computing, and applied data science.

I have built large-scale ML pipelines, experiment-tracking platforms, model-evaluation systems, anomaly-detection workflows, and reproducible ML infrastructure for real-world time-series and imaging data. My work includes computer-vision pipelines for fluorescence microscopy, confidence-aware time-series classification, diffusion/transformer-based scientific imaging research, and real-time wearable-sensor ML for Samsung Galaxy Watch.

I am especially interested in roles where I can build production-grade AI systems: applied ML, AI engineering, backend/data infrastructure for ML, computer vision, LLM/RAG systems, agentic AI tools, data science, and model evaluation platforms.

Interested in: Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, Computer Vision Engineer, Generative AI Engineer, and ML Infrastructure roles. Open to startups and larger companies.

Open to full-time/contract work

Location: San Jose, CA (SF Bay Area)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL/pgvector, RAG, LangChain, PydanticAI, Celery, Redis, Docker, AWS, Langfuse, Java, Spring Boot Résumé/CV: https://github.com/Gayithri606/resume/blob/main/GayithriPonn...

AI engineer building RAG chatbots and AI-driven workflow automation. Five years of production Java/Spring backend at Walmart, Oracle, and VMware before that.

I build retrieval systems that admit when they don't know. My document Q&A pipeline: Docling for structure-aware parsing, one batched embeddings call instead of 60 round trips, TimescaleDB + pgvectorscale instead of a hosted vector DB (~75% cheaper), Celery/Redis for async ingestion returning an immediate job ID, and an explicit enough_context flag via Instructor + Pydantic so it returns "I don't know" instead of a confident guess. Langfuse tracing on every token and dollar.

Also built an event-driven agentic platform that classifies inbound email, routes it, acts on it, and escalates to a human when confidence is low — multi-provider (OpenAI/Claude/Gemini/Bedrock), swappable in one line via PydanticAI.

Open to contract or full-time. US Green Card holder — no sponsorship needed. Most useful to teams sitting on a pile of documents who need something reliable on top of them. I'll also tell you when a scheduled Python script beats an LLM — I've done that on a paid engagement and saved the client money.

I'm Darjan, a Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer who's spent the last 6+ years building SaaS products for US and European startups.

I turn ideas into products people actually pay to use. I've independently built and launched commercial software, handling everything from architecture and UI/UX to development, SEO, payments, analytics, and customer support.

My recent desktop micro tool that I took from idea to first paying customer in 4 days. I identified a niche problem around a new product launch and built a Windows desktop utility in just a few days.

Through SEO, community marketing, and continuous product iteration, it grew to 1,800+ users, 1055+ registered accounts, 188+ paying customers, and over $1,600 in revenue in 1 month.

Along the way I processed 24,000+ automated user actions, saving users an estimated 2,900+ hours while continuously improving the conversion funnel through analytics and pricing experiments.

Before that, I built CloudsForge in Q1 of this year, an Electron desktop application that provisions cloud GPUs and orchestrates open-source AI video generation models through a single interface, eliminating the complexity of infrastructure, environments, and manual setup.

Startup experience: Kandor Solutions, Senior Full-Stack Developer ( Sept 2023 - March 2026 ) Pequity, Frontend Developer and UI/UX Design ( January 2021 - September 2023 ) Innoscripta, Frontend Developer ( January 2020 - December 2021 )

Location: Bosnia and Herzegovina (CET) collaborating with US and European teams throughout my entire career. Willing to relocate: No Technologies: React, Next.js, Vue.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Electron, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Tailwind CSS, Redux, Zustand, Python, AWS, Vercel, AI-assisted development (Claude Code), MCPs, UI/UX Design
