Recent past
Before starting my Ph.D., I was an Applied Scientist in the
Amazon Q Developer team, where I trained large language models (LLMs) for code generation.
Even before that, I obtained an M.S. in Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, USA) and a B.E. in Computer Science at the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani (Hyderabad Campus, India). During these years, I've had the pleasure of working on several cool AI projects with brilliant colleagues at labs like Adobe Research and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
I grew up in Mumbai, India, and the chaotic similarities between the cities probably explain why I love New York City so much.
Other interests
Outside of my research, I'm interested in pretty much everything. However, my fascination for astronomy, philosophy and tennis stand out. I also write poetry sometimes.
This website
Loosely inspired by
this, I started developing this site on my own in 2022. Then ChatGPT came around. Since then I've been collaborating with
some AI tool (currently Claude Code) to make this site better.
I also
blog about topics that interest me and maintain
notes on subjects I learn about. We'll see how long I can keep this up.
