About

As the founding research engineer at Resolve, I focus on improving the agent quality, setting up evaluation frameworks, diversifying model usage and building out a robust AI platform. As Head AI research at Vouched, I led a team of researchers that built state of the art technologies for real-time identity verification used by banks and healthcare institutions. My consulting work has allowed me to partner with startups worldwide, where I've architected scalable machine learning solutions for a variety of complex challenges, including building image-aware search engines for massive product catalogs, running Monte-Carlo simulations, developing 3D facial models for recognition, and creating player-tracking / analytics systems for professional tennis tournaments.

I am the founding Research Engineer at Resolve AI. Resolve AI is building an AI Production Engineer, which autonomously troubleshoots and resolves production issues and handles operational tasks, dramatically reducing MTTR and freeing up engineers to focus on building. By combining a deep understanding of production environments with state-of-the-art agentic AI, Resolve aims to accelerate how engineers build, deploy, and maintain real-world software systems.

Software Developer Internship

Dec 2013 – Dec 2013 · 0 mo · Chennai Area, India

It was a short internship to set up the stage for my B.Tech thesis while also working on a company project. I worked on a basic gaze tracking module and also modified Makehuman ( http://www.makehuman.org/ ), an open-sourced game character software to generate human-like unique characters with several varied parameters (face/face part shapes, gender, race, rotation, lighting etc...). The generated characters were used to augment real-world face data for machine learning applications like face recognition and illumination correction.

Software Developer Internship

May 2013 – Jul 2013 · 2 mos · Bengaluru Area, India

I worked on Blink detection. The work involved developing pattern recognition algorithms to identify features of human faces and porting some of them to CUDA to run on graphics cards. Also worked on the camera interface of an android app.

CAD development internship

May 2012 – Jul 2012 · 2 mos · Research Park, IIT-Madras

Developed a part of a CAD software for sheet metal industry. It predicts the sheet metal layout of a solid object given it's 3D design data file.It involved designs in which direct unfolding to detect the layout is not possible. For those cases, the software determines the best position to split the object into more than one parts. It also rearranges the separated parts in space to reduce the overall sheet metal used.
I also built a viewer using Scalable Vector Graphics( SVG ) to visually represent the solid object and the predicted sheet metal layout.
