Hi, I am Kirti Kaushal. I am a Senior Full Stack and AI/ML Engineer with 15 years of experience building production systems across Fintech, Wealth Management, and Telecom in the United States. Over my career I have worked as a Technical Architect, Technical Lead, Software Developer, and Team Lead. I have shipped real applications used by real people — not just side projects and tutorials. WHAT I HAVE BUILT (recently) → zero-code-apps — AI app builder where you describe a fintech app in plain English and Claude, GPT-4o, or Gemini streams it into a live, downloadable web application instantly Live: kirti.github.io/zero-code-apps → skillforge-ai — published npm package with reusable AI skill files that teach Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini your coding standards Install: npm install skillforge-ai → reactforge-ai-skills — React codebase health toolkit with 9 AI skills and 19 automation scripts for accessibility, performance, TypeScript migration, and test coverage Install: npm install reactforge-ai-skills → AI Banking POC — GPT-4 powered React banking app demonstrating 6 production LLM patterns: streaming, conversation memory, structured JSON output, parallel completions, ML+LLM pipeline Live: kirti.github.io/ai-banking-poc-frontend → Fraud Detector — XGBoost + Isolation Forest ensemble trained on 284K transactions, SHAP explainability, GPT-4o-mini risk narration deployed on HuggingFace Spaces with FastAPI → GitHub Actions Patterns — 8 production-ready CI/CD workflows for Node.js with detailed documentation and live demo site Live: kirti.github.io/github-actions-node-patterns My journey has not always been easy. I am an immigrant professional who has navigated career growth on a dependent visa in the United States — constantly proving skills, rebuilding confidence, and adapting to new challenges every year. A few years ago I had a major accident that resulted in a broken knee requiring plates and screws. Recovery was slow and painful. I kept learning through every difficult day because I truly believe that continuous learning is one of the most valuable investments we can make in ourselves. I started teaching because I wished someone had been there for me when I was figuring things out alone. Finding the right mentor can accelerate growth and open new perspectives. I want to be that person for others. WHO I WORK WITH 🌱 BEGINNERS You want to learn to code but do not know where to start. Maybe you tried tutorials but got lost. Maybe you have been watching YouTube videos for months but cannot build anything real. I will give you a clear path, real exercises, and honest feedback. ⚛️ INTERMEDIATE DEVELOPERS You know the basics but want to level up. You want to build full-stack applications, add AI to your projects, understand CI/CD, or prepare for senior engineering interviews. 🧠 ADVANCED ENGINEERS You want to go deep on AI/ML engineering, LLM integration, model deployment, or building and publishing developer tools. We work at a senior level — peer to peer, not teacher to student. 👩‍💼 CAREER CHANGERS You are switching from another field into tech, or from non-engineering roles into engineering. I help you position your existing experience as a strength, build a portfolio that gets attention, and navigate the job search strategically. 🛂 IMMIGRANT TECH PROFESSIONALS Visa challenges, resume positioning for the US market, building income during job transitions, navigating dependent visa situations — I offer specific, honest guidance on all of it. TECH STACK I TEACH Frontend: React 18, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript Backend: Node.js, Express, FastAPI, Python AI/ML: GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, RAG pipelines XGBoost, scikit-learn, SHAP, Isolation Forest HuggingFace, model deployment, SMOTE DevOps: GitHub Actions, CI/CD, Docker, Azure, Render, Vercel Tools: npm publishing, VS Code extensions, Jupyter notebooks MY TEACHING PROMISE I will never waste your time. I will be honest about what you need to improve. I will celebrate every small win with you. I will be available between sessions for quick questions. I will remember your goals and hold you accountable to them. If a session does not meet your expectations, tell me. I will make it right.
