Hi, I'm
Mihir Panjikar
GenAI Engineer|
I build robust, scalable backend systems and explore the frontiers of Artificial Intelligence — RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, and intelligent applications.
Who I am
About Me
Pursuing a Diploma in Data Science from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, strengthening my knowledge in data-driven problem solving and advanced analytics.
Detail-oriented Backend Developer and GenAI Enthusiast with a bachelor's in computer applications, believe in building robust, scalable, and intelligent systems using modern technologies.
A strong foundation in Python, FastAPI, SQL, MongoDB, and a focus on creating efficient, modular, and easy-to-maintain backend architectures.
Hands-on experience building microservices, implementing RAG and integrating LLMs for context-aware applications, and building intuitive user interfaces using Streamlit.
What I've built
My Projects
Mark3Media — Agency Website
- Designed and built the production website for a Goa-based digital marketing agency using Next.js
- Structured the site around a case-study portfolio and service breakdowns, with WhatsApp deep links as the primary conversion path
- Optimised for performance and mobile with WebP media, responsive layouts and smooth anchor navigation
Legal Document Simplification System (LDSS)
- Simplified legal documents in real-time, improving legal access for laypersons
- Locally hosted LLM (DeepSeek v1) using Ollama for offline and secure inference
- Deployed a seamless Streamlit-based UI, bridging the gap between local backend AI processing and end-user workflows.
EduQuery
- GenAI-powered chatbot for students to interact with a subject-specific knowledge base using Streamlit, Sentence Transformers and Ollama
- Implemented RAG-based (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture for accurate and context-aware responses
- Architected a scalable vector database using [Sentence Transformers and FAISS] to efficiently index and retrieve high-dimensional document embeddings.
