Nov 2025Present · 4 mos · Hybrid

  • Specialized advisor for early-stage and high-growth companies. I provide fractional engineering leadership and hands-on development for complex AI/ML initiatives. Some examples are:
  • Built an AI tool for extracting unstrucutred data for a pre-seed company to fasttrack their efforts for domain specific dataset creation
  • Advised a mid-stage (series D) fintech for strategic partnerships and decisons regarding build-vs-buy for their AI needs
  • Helped a seed startup gain visibility into the effectiveness of their AI product by building the evaluation framework and definining key metrics

Moveworks

Software Engineer

Aug 2021Aug 2023 · 2 yrs · Mountain View, California, United States

  • Worked in the Search team and was fortunate enough to build a lot of firsts:
  • 1. Delivered the first query similarity model which soon became the backbone of multiple services and products at Moveworks.
  • 2. Worked on engineering for a new product right from day 0 to enable people search over structured data using natural language. Led the ML and NLU efforts and designed a novel pipeline that could dynamically adapt the classification space. (Patent pending)
  • 3. In the rising era of GenAI, consolidated efforts to build user trust and trained the first fact checker model to identify and mitigate potential hallucinations.
  • Along the process, learnt a lot about best software engineering practices, importance of great user interface, managing communication across a cross-functional team and listening to customer needs to deliver high quality products.

Research Intern

May 2016Jul 2016 · 2 mos · Konstanz Area, Germany

  • I was a part of the team working on the Powerbike project. The details of the project can be found out in the given link. My work was to develop an electronic circuit by integrating an arduino microcontroller with additional sensors to collect data related to the pedal rotation angle and velocity and analyse it so as to improve the simulation. I also programmed the microcontroller to collect sensor events and to compute pedal position and velocity and calibrated the whole set up.

Research Intern in Cryptology

May 2015Jul 2015 · 2 mos · Kolkata

  • My work here was to learn about various aspects of cryptography, both public key and private key, and analyse the existing solutions for the cryptanalysis of RSA cryptosystem. I studied about the Boneh-Durfee attack and how they constructed lattices for the efficient cryptanalysis of this system even for larger values of decryption constant thus improving Wiener's result. I implemented the LLL algorithm for the reduction of lattices and various other problems which utilise this algorithm for finding a solution efficiently.
