AI engineer in making. Explaining tech like you're 5.

Building AI systems and writing about how they actually work. Master of AI @ University of Technology Sydney. Previously B.Tech CS with focus on IoT. I believe the best way to learn is to explain. That's why I'm documenting tech concepts with simple analogies (@sreekarreddy.com). AWS Certified • Azure AI Certified • Neo4j Professional • Google Data Analytics When not coding: exploring Sydney, working on side projects, and teaching tech to anyone who'll listen.
