About

I’m a graduate student at the University of Washington specializing in Applied AI, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision — with a deep interest in building scalable systems that create meaningful real-world impact. My journey in AI began three years ago when I trained my first computer vision model without fully knowing what I was doing — but I immediately knew I loved it. That curiosity has since taken me from India to the U.S., from startup CTO to applied research intern, and into the world of AI systems that scale in real production environments. Today, I work at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and GenAI — designing pipelines, benchmarking algorithms, fine-tuning models, and deploying end-to-end AI solutions. I’ve led engineering teams, built products from scratch, and secured a patent for an AI-based water-quality monitoring system. What drives me goes beyond the technology: I want to build AI tools that empower people, solve real-world problems, and move society forward — especially in areas like public safety, environmental sustainability, and equitable access to technology. If you’re building something impactful, innovative, or mission-driven — I’d love to connect.
