About

I’m a software engineer working on Photoshop, focused on building generative and intelligent creative workflows that scale to millions of users. My work sits at the intersection of GenAI, image understanding, systems engineering, and developer experience. Over the years, I’ve worked across deep learning, image processing, graphics, backend systems, and more recently Rust-based SDKs and architectures that prioritize reliability, safety, and long-term scalability. I’m especially motivated by building tools for creatives — products that feel intuitive on the surface while being technically rigorous underneath. I enjoy taking ambiguous problem spaces, shaping them into clear systems, and collaborating closely with product, design, and research to turn ideas into production-quality solutions. Always curious, always learning — motivated by building technology that leaves a positive impact.

Technical Architect

Feb 2016 – Jan 2017 · 11 mos · Noida Area, India

I worked on machine learning in image processing and image analysis.
My work involved using recent deep learning technologies and frameworks to build products which solve problems by understanding images. I worked on image genre classification, junk categorization, duplicate detection, object tagging and face swap. I also worked on deploying these technologies in the back-end services which can handle lot of scale. I worked on deploying neural networks on android and coding image processing applications using Android NDK.
