I build AI systems. Most recently at Amazon.

Before that, video work for 200+ clients. I was 15 when I started.

The pattern

Start early. Go deep. Repeat.

Different domains, different kinds of proof: competitive, commercial, published.

11

Badminton

State-level competition. Student Nationals silver in doubles, 2018. Stopped during lockdown.

14

Code

Started in 10th class, 2020.

15

Video

Editing for clients on Fiverr, then direct. 200+ clients over roughly five years.

20

Amazon

Applied Scientist Intern. Production LLM systems over millions of feedback records.

B.Tech CS (AI & ML), 9.09/10. Building AI systems, products, and research.

Selected work

Systems where correctness has to survive contact with reality.

Four in depth: production LLM systems at Amazon, first-author taxonomy research, citation-first retrieval, and a durable multi-agent workflow. Each one starts with the operating constraint—not the model name.

Before AI

Started editing at 15. Built for 200+ clients.

Cinematic video editing and motion graphics for clients worldwide. Fiverr first, then direct — across roughly five years, alongside school and then college.

Age I started, working under my sister's account

I was 15, which is too young to hold a seller account — it needs legal documents I did not have — so I worked under my sister's. Fiverr first, then direct clients as the work grew. None of it was assigned to me: I found the work, taught myself the craft, and delivered to a brief on a deadline for people who were paying. Scope, revisions, and clients across timezones taught me the parts of building that have nothing to do with code, years before I had a job title. The gig is still up and I take the occasional project, but AI is the work now.

Fiverr review, five stars, United States: a client names Moinuddin and cites audio editing and 3D motion graphics
Fiverr review, five stars, United States: praises creative solutions and a 24-hour turnaround other editors declined
Fiverr review, five stars, Australia: repeat client says they will use the service again
Fiverr review, five stars, United Kingdom: calls the seller a consummate professional
Fiverr review, five stars, Mexico: praises excellent work and punctual delivery
Fiverr review, 4.3 stars, United States: notes talent and resourcefulness alongside criticism of communication

United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Mexico. Including a 4.3 — the average is 4.9, and it would be easy to show only fives.

Before that

Student Nationals. Silver, doubles.

Silver.

I picked up badminton at 11 and competed at state level before taking a doubles silver at Student Nationals in 2018. Lockdown ended it, but it was the first thing I got properly obsessed with — and the first time getting good at something was measured by someone other than me.

Jan–Jun 2026

Bengaluru

Amazon · RBS Sciences

Applied Scientist Intern

Owned a self-calibrating knowledge-extraction system from problem framing to production, then expanded into autonomous taxonomy generation and grounded metric explainability. Cut onboarding from five to seven days to under 18 hours, reached 0.74 F1 against a 0.71 manual baseline, and accelerated extraction 2.7× at 53% lower cost.

May–Jul 2025

Hyderabad

Intel · Unnati

AI Intern

Optimized real-time video enhancement for low-resource devices: 20% clearer output, a 30% smaller model, and 35% faster CPU inference without a dedicated GPU.

Technical interests

The questions I keep returning to.

These are not keyword buckets. They are the parts of AI systems where I like to make ambiguity explicit and performance measurable.

Reliable AI Systems

Grounded outputs, calibrated failure, provenance, and operator-visible evidence.

Retrieval

Layout-aware ingestion, ranking, hybrid search, citations, and measurable recall.

LLM Evaluation

Task-specific metrics, structural error analysis, cost-quality tradeoffs, and judge reliability.

ML Infrastructure

Typed pipelines, asynchronous execution, observability, reproducible experiments, and model serving.

Distributed Systems

Durable work boundaries, retries, idempotency, queues, consistency, and failure recovery.

Backend Engineering

Versioned APIs, data contracts, authentication, lifecycle design, and production safety.

Applied Machine Learning

Problem framing, baselines, efficient inference, on-device deployment, and product feedback loops.

Now

Evaluation-aware products

Building evaluation into the workflow so quality changes the product, not just a dashboard.

Open source

The implementation is part of the argument.

Public repositories include product code, typed APIs, tests, CI, deployment notes, and explicit limitations—not only screenshots.
