— About

Engineer first, storyteller always — building at the intersection of AI, product and people.

I'm an AI-focused engineer fascinated by how intelligent systems can solve real, everyday problems. At Dassault Systèmes I worked on AI-driven automation inside 3D CAD workflows — measurable accuracy gains and real time saved for the engineers using the product every day.

Right now I'm deep into Generative AI, RAG and agentic systems through my MS in Artificial Intelligence at RMIT University in Melbourne. I'm actively breaking into the Australian tech market — open to AI / ML roles, and quietly working towards the long-term vision of building and selling AI services of my own.

On @beingmugdhaau I create content about AI, tech and student life in Australia for a community of 3,800+. What drives me: combining technology, creativity and business — and learning out loud while I build.
