About

Final-year CS student at IIT Kanpur with experience across Machine Learning, Systems, Networking, and Distributed Computing. Strong skills in C++, Data Structures & Algorithms, Python, Linux systems, and PyTorch. I’ve built raw-socket TCP handshakes, DNS resolvers, and system tools inside GemOS (custom malloc, virtual memory inspection, round-robin scheduling, concurrency primitives). On the ML side, I designed end-to-end pipelines for equity time-series modeling, trained CatBoost and PyTorch models, engineered advanced features, and built ensembles with measurable performance gains. Interested in roles involving ML engineering, systems development, HPC, and high-performance C++ applications.

Quantitative Research Intern

Apr 2025Aug 2025 · 4 mos

  • Built large-scale ML pipelines for equity time-series modeling, using 15 years of stock data and 900+ engineered features (momentum, volatility, technical indicators, sector dummies, factor signals). Trained CatBoostRanker (YetiRank), CatBoostRegressor, and PyTorch MLPs for forward-return prediction and cross-sectional ranking. Implemented walk-forward backtesting and a Ridge-based stacking ensemble, improving top-30 stock overlap with real market outcomes by ~5%. Worked extensively with feature engineering, non-linear modeling, model calibration, and ensemble techniques.
