I apply AI not as a buzzword, but as a tool to solve real problems — across marketing, financial services, education, logistics, workforce transformation, and strategic growth. From RAG pipelines to machine learning and GenAI use cases, I build systems that think and scale.
I build systems, roadmaps, and models that help other strategists lead smarter — from executives planning growth to analysts driving activation. I’m the strategist behind strategists.
Featured Projects:
AI-Powered Business Intelligence Copilot (Streamlit + LLM + SQL Integration)
• Developed a Business Intelligence Copilot that uses large language models for real-time analytics and decision support.
• Integrated OpenAI, LangChain, and SQL to enable natural language querying across multiple databases.
• Designed a Streamlit interface with dynamic Plotly visualizations, multi-database routing, and robust error handling.
• Extended the system to include a domain-specific (bike sales) database with custom prompts and tailored charts.
• Demonstrated applied skills in LLM orchestration, RAG techniques, prompt engineering, and data storytelling.
