I'm an AI/ML engineer focused on the stretch between cutting-edge research and systems that have to work in the field — often under constraints that make textbook solutions insufficient.
I'm currently an M.Tech (Artificial Intelligence) candidate at DIAT-DRDO (Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune) and an AI Research Intern at DRDO DYSL-AI, Bengaluru. My work sits at the intersection of reinforcement learning, computer vision, and generative AI, with a strong bias toward deployable, field-tested systems.
I've been recognized as an IndiaAI Fellow by the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) for Project VAANI — a multilingual voice and lip-sync translation system — and received a formal commendation from the Indian Armed Forces for the KASAM situational awareness platform deployed in the field.
Before academia, I shipped enterprise AI products at K. M. Williams & Associates, representing the firm at the World Utility Congress (Abu Dhabi) and the Innov8 Challenge (Riyadh). I'm an IEEE member and previously founded the GeeksforGeeks chapter and Coding Club at my undergraduate institution.
