Welcome to my personal website! I am a Computer Vision Engineer at Verkada, which is a security camera unicorn in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the earliest member of the five-person strong Computer Vision team which manages all of Verkada's awesome Computer Vision functionalities. Apart from training models, developing new features and general maintenance, my primary contribution at Verkada has been the design, development and release of our state-of-the-art license plate recognition system.

I completed my MS in Computer Vision from Carnegie Mellon University, under the wing of Prof. Jeff Schneider, where my capstone project focused on Reinforcement Learning for self-driving cars. We trained an image-based end-to-end self-driving agent on the Carla simulator using RL and IL. My primary interests lie in the practical applications of deep learning-based computer vision systems, particularly in real-time deployment on cloud and edge devices.

My previous work experience includes my internship with the perception team at Uber ATG and my job in India as a Research Engineer at Conduent Labs India (formerly XRCI). At Uber, I developed in-house Adversarial RL/IRL modules to retrain their vehicle motion prediction solution, while at Conduent, my work resulted in three publications as listed below. 

I received my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT, Delhi. I am indebted to Prof. S. D. Joshi for his guidance on my undergraduate thesis and in life, and I appreciate Prof. Sumeet Agrawal for his exceptional course offering in Machine Learning.

If you want to guess which house I'm from, here's a hint: सर्वश्रेष्ठम् सर्वसुन्दरम् काराकोरम् काराकोरम्
