Sohail Gidwani
I build AI systems that actually work in production, not just in notebooks. Full-stack engineering meets applied ML.
About
I like making AI things that people can actually use.
I'm an AI engineer and full-stack developer. I've worked on everything from RAG pipelines and LLM integrations to React frontends and Flask APIs. What I care about most is taking something complex and making it feel simple for the person using it.
I tend to move fast, prototype a lot, and then clean things up once I know what works. Ambiguous problems don't scare me. If anything, those are the ones I find most interesting.
Focus
Applied AI, retrieval systems, and building products that don't break when real people use them.
Systems Thinking
I think about the whole picture, not just the model. Data in, guardrails, UX, all of it.
Collaborative
I like working with designers, researchers, and other engineers. Better products come out of it.
Curious
I'm always trying out new models, reading papers, and breaking things to see how they work.
Product-Led
I'd rather ship something useful in a week than spend a month on something nobody asked for.

Skills
Tools I actually use, not just ones I've heard of.
Projects
Things I've built that I'm proud of.
Knowledge Hub
My go-to tool for studying. Upload notes, search them semantically, ask questions with RAG.
Flask + Postgres app with pgvector that does OCR on handwritten notes and uses Ollama to answer questions over my course docs. Built it because I was tired of digging through PDFs.
Image Captioning
Feed it an image, get a caption. Transformer model hit 0.80 BLEU.
ScribeGlobe
A Medium clone I built to learn serverless. Hono on Cloudflare Workers.
Tech Updates
Scrapes tech news and uses AI to sort it. My personal reading feed.
Triumphs
Certifications and wins that shaped my journey.
Beyond the Code
Stuff I care about when I'm not coding.
Marvel Universe
Story-Driven Games
