Hi there, I'm Aashish Dhawan 👋 🌐 Portfolio 💼 LinkedIn ✍️ Medium
Research Assistant @ University of Florida
Focused on AI Agents, ML Research, and Multimodal AI Systems
Computer Science graduate passionate about building adaptive, intelligent systems. I've contributed to research at ISRO, UBTECH AI Lab (University of Sydney), and The University of Florida, focusing on machine learning infrastructure and real-world AI applications.
Lately, I’ve been diving into:
- Autonomous job application agents using LLMs
- LoRA-based personalization of image generation pipelines
- Multilingual and low-resource translation systems
- AI agents that jam music (yes, they play drums while I play guitar 🎸)
- Reducing annotation effort via few-shot learning in concept learning systems
- Programming Languages: Python, C++, Java, SQL
- ML/DL Frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn
- Modeling & Research: Deep Learning, NLP, Generative AI, LLMs (BERT, BART, GPT, mBART, CLIP), Computer Vision, Multimodal Learning
- Dev & Deployment: FastAPI, Flask, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow
- Data & Infrastructure: PostgreSQL, FAISS, Git
- Cloud & Distributed Systems: AWS, GCP (Vertex AI, BigQuery)
- Software Engineering: RESTful Microservices, Parallel Computing, Scalable ML Pipelines
- Visualization & Analytics: Matplotlib, Power BI, Tableau

🤖 Autonomous Job Application Agent
Gemini-powered FastAPI system that finds, scores, and applies to jobs on its own. Supports form autofill, fallback handling, and multi-step application logic. -
🎨 Image Generation with LoRA Adapters
Built a modular FastAPI pipeline for training and switching LoRA adapters to generate Pokémon and custom concepts. Includes Google Drive cloud integration. -
🌍 Multilingual MT with mBART50 + CLIP
Finetuned mBART50 for Spanish–Guarani and Spanish–Quechua translation using CLIP and multi-GPU training on HiPerGator. -
🧠 TensorFlow Documentation Bot
AI-powered chatbot using FastAPI + OpenAI to answer TensorFlow docs questions in real-time. Helps developers find answers without skimming docs.
I built an AI agent to jam music with me. I play guitar, it plays drums. Together, we make some interesting noise.
💡 Building with purpose. Researching with curiosity. Always shipping.
