About Me
I'm Thayaananthan Kanagaraj
AI/ML Engineer · Data Engineer · Software Engineer · Data Analyst with 2+ yearsI'm an AI/ML Engineer who builds systems that work at scale and solve real problems. Currently pursuing my Master's in Robotics & AI at Arizona State University, where I translate complex AI research into production-ready solutions.I specialize in taking ideas from concept to deployment—whether it's multi-agent systems, knowledge graphs, real-time audio processing, or fraud detection. I work across the full stack: from fine-tuning LLMs and building GNNs to deploying on cloud infrastructure and optimizing for production constraints.What drives me is creating AI that's not just technically impressive, but genuinely useful. I thrive in fast-paced environments where rapid iteration matters, and I enjoy collaborating across teams and time zones to ship solutions that deliver real impact. My background spans ML, NLP, computer vision, explainable AI, and multi-agent systems—with deep expertise in PyTorch, Transformers, and cloud-native MLOps.I'm passionate about building intelligent systems that augment human capabilities, work reliably under real-world conditions, and create measurable value. Whether it's healthcare, finance, or productivity tools, I focus on solutions that are scalable, explainable, and built to last.
