About

I am a Computer Science post-graduate with a Master of Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, PG in AI and ML from University of Texas in Austin and a Bachelor of Technology from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. I am a Senior Research Software Development Engineer at Microsoft Research, where we focus on developing scalable AI technologies—particularly in the areas of Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)—to drive societal impact. My work primarily addresses challenges in education and accessibility for the visually impaired. Previously, I was part of the Microsoft Viva Insights team, contributing to initiatives that deliver actionable organizational insights through data-driven solutions. Filed 3 US patents. I am deeply interested in working on software development and research, where I can apply my advanced expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) to design and build scalable, impactful solutions that address real-world challenges. Before joining Microsoft, I worked at the Central Research Laboratory (CRL) of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), where I was involved in research and development of secure and efficient technologies for defense applications. I had also worked at Ola, where I analyzed user behavior to design targeted coupon strategies, optimize dynamic supply positioning, and enhance surge pricing models. I contributed to the optimization of the booking and dispatch engine, significantly improving booking creation time. My first company was Yahoo!, where I worked on the Yahoo Buzz Index, a platform that identified and tracked trending search terms.
