Hii! I am currently working as a ML Researcher at Essential AI.
Previously, I was a software engineer at Amazon, with the AWS Cryptography team working on open-source client side encryption libraries to help both internal and external customers encrypt their data easily and securely.
In March 2024, I graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of California San Diego with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, especially privacy-preserving ML, and time-series modeling, with a cumulative GPA of 4.0/4.0. For updates on patents, publications and projects, see here.
I completed my undergraduate degree (B.Tech) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD), in the Electrical Engineering Department in 2021. I visited the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, France (INSA Lyon) in the Fall'19 as an exchange student in the Information Science and Technology (IST) Department.
I am passionate about constantly contributing to improving people's lives with my work and have experience in Cryptography, Data Analysis, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence, including Deep Learning, and multi-modal machine learning.
Apart from my academic interests, I love to surf and play basketball. I was awarded the prestigious IIT Delhi Outstanding Sportsperson Award for consistently contributing to sports, especially Basketball at IIT Delhi.
