About

As a Graduate Research Assistant at Georgia Tech, I am developing an AI-powered system to aid Teaching Assistants in identifying high-priority student posts and providing personalized guidance to students. I am also designing a machine learning-enabled back exoskeleton that can adapt to the user’s movements, employing Temporal Convolutional Networks and Vicon Nexus. I am pursuing my MS in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering, with a passion for pushing the boundaries of technology. Previously, I interned at Tesla as an Automation and Control Engineer, where I authored, simulated, and modified PLC ladder logic and HMI screens for various assembly lines. I also programmed, simulated, operated, and troubleshooted Fanuc robotic systems with IRVision and PROFINET protocol. I have a BTech in Mechatronics Engineering from Manipal University Jaipur, India, where I was a speaker at a mini-workshop on AR/VR and its applications using Unity3D. I also completed multiple certifications and publications in data science, AI, and IoT.
