About Me

The Story So Far
Dhanush Chinivar

Who I am

I'm Dhanush, a Full Stack and AI engineer originally from Bengaluru, India, now based in Melbourne. I'm in my final semester of a Master's in IT at Deakin University, and I bring over three years of industry experience building real-world software, from embedded firmware at Microchip Technology to full-stack products and LLM-powered systems.

At my core, I'm a curious learner. I like breaking things down to understand how they really work, then building them back better. I care about writing clean, maintainable code and shipping things that have real impact — not just in demos, but in production.

My current focus is on RAG systems and LLM-powered applications using LangChain, FastAPI, and vector databases.

I'm actively looking for full-time and internship opportunities in full-stack or ML/AI engineering in the Australian market.
