About

As my freshman year was getting over, my interests shifted from understanding CS fundamentals to pushing its boundaries - building things, breaking things and figuring out why. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I had gone from tutorials to research papers, production pipelines and shipped products. Since then I have researched at Cambridge and Würzburg, done multiple AI and SWE internships, built a few things worth talking about, and just started off as a Machine Learning Engineer at UnifyApps.

Work Experience

  • UnifyApps

    Machine Learning Engineer • Gurgaon, India

    Fine-tuned bge-m3 embeddings using SetFit's contrastive learning to hit 92% accuracy at under 20ms latency for an Enterprise Search LLM router. Built ToolBridge, a plug-and-play connector framework with RBAC, citations and pagination baked in, and designed a tiered core/stress evaluation philosophy for ES Agent.
  • Predii

    Applied AI Intern • Remote

    Built production async LLM evaluation pipelines processing 37K+ samples end to end using MongoDB, Azure and SLURM. Benchmarked LLMs and embeddings against SME standards and authored Evaluation Framework 1.0 covering part-search, reasoning and cross-model comparison workflows.
  • IN3TECH Computer Systems - FZE, Dubai

    Software Engineer Intern • Remote

    Built a Meta Glasses powered face recognition system integrated with a Flask web app and Google Search API for enriched data retrieval using LLaMA and Gemini. Developed a paperless parking solution achieving 82% license plate detection accuracy using TensorFlow, OpenCV and a MySQL backed Flask backend.

Research Experience

  • WüNLP, University of Würzburg

    Research Intern • Würzburg, Germany

    Deployed a fully automated vLLM based synthetic data pipeline on SLURM clusters producing 2M+ reasoning samples across 10+ public datasets. Built LLM-as-Judge classification workflows and optimised prompt templates across 15+ SOTA models including DeepSeek R1 and Qwen QwQ for reasoning evaluation.
  • AFAR Lab, University of Cambridge

    Research Studentship • Remote

    Curated and standardised 15+ multi-party conversation datasets for robotic dialogue systems, then fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B and Phi-4-mini using supervised fine-tuning with LoRA. Designed multi-dimensional evaluation pipelines combining human scoring and semantic analysis, with statistical testing on 1500+ samples confirming 46-60% gains in context consistency.
  • MIDAS Lab, IIIT Delhi

    Undergraduate Researcher • New Delhi, India

    Worked on two projects: automated code generation using LLMs, building a 470K sample fine-tuning dataset for Qwen Coder 2.5 and evaluation pipelines with IR-level similarity analysis; and a suspect retrieval system for Delhi Police, training the FIRe model on CelebA and integrating LLaVA for multimodal identification combining images and text descriptions.
