About Me
I'm Joe Mathew, a final-year B.Tech student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam. I'm passionate about becoming a skilled AI and ML developer, with a strong interest in building intelligent solutions that address real-world challenges.
During my academic journey, I've completed internships that gave me hands-on exposure to real industry practices. At Octaunitech, I worked on setting up guardrails for a production-level chatbot, ensuring safe and reliable conversational flows. At KeyValue Software Systems, I gained experience in a professional engineering environment, contributing to Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration and improving traceability within dashboards.
I also enjoy applying my skills in competitive settings, where I have won hackathons and participated in design competitions. These experiences have helped me grow both technically and creatively, while also reinforcing the value of teamwork and communication.
Always eager to learn and explore new technologies, I look forward to contributing to innovative AI-driven projects and making a meaningful impact in the tech world.
