About

I am currently building state-of-the-art retrieval models for the Autocomplete team at Apple Maps Search! Previously, I was a Software Developer at Amazon Device Ads, where I designed code to reduce processing overheads for ad events. I was also a part of the Alexa Smart Home Team where I worked on monitoring consumers' energy consumption by modifying routing and filtering of the data streams. I also served as the Scrum Master to facilitate Agile Development. I am an aspiring Machine Learning Researcher with a penchant for constantly upgrading my programming skillset. I am very zealous about solving problems in the Machine Learning or Natural Language Processing domains and am constantly on the lookout for challenging problems that force me outside my comfort zone. I am well versed in multiple programming languages and hope to make a mark in the AI industry!
