About

I am a researcher at Microsoft PROSE where I develop end-to-end AI-powered tools to improve software engineering practices and streamline development processes. My passion lies in conducting and translating applied research in Artificial Intelligence (Neural & Symbolic) and Software Engineering. Recently, my research interests have been focused on the application of AI for Code tasks, spanning editing, repairing, review, and evaluation. My prior experiences of working in software engineering roles at startups and larger companies in India have provided me with varied opportunities to learn and implement my ideas effectively. I completed my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from IIT Kanpur where I was awarded the "Best Software Award" for my work that now ships inside Visual Studio. In addition to my interest in Computer Science, I am also keen on Linguistics, Economics and Finance. I am always interested in exploring new opportunities and collaborating with like-minded individuals.
