  • 🔭 I'm currently working on: Advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and Vector Embedding strategies to build context-aware AI applications.
  • 🌱 I'm currently learning: System Design and Distributed Systems to architect highly scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant infrastructures.
  • 👯 I'm looking to collaborate on: Open-source AI tooling, performance-critical backend systems, or anything that solves a real-world problem with clean code.
  • 💬 Ask me about: Spring WebFlux for reactive streaming, National-Award winning Django development, or building accessible (WCAG) full-stack platforms.
  • 📫 How to reach me: pathakishan333@gmail.com
