About me

I am a graduate student in Computer Science at SUNY Buffalo, specializing in AI/ML.

My foundation comes from Electronics and Communication Engineering at NIT Jamshedpur (an Institute of National Importance), where I built a strong base in HDLs, embedded systems, and signal processing. This low-level expertise complements my work in scalable software engineering and machine learning.

Beyond academics, I actively contribute to open source. I work on Burn (a Rust deep learning framework) and Twenty (a TypeScript CRM platform), collaborating with global communities and pushing real systems into production.

  • DMI Finance: Expanded datasets with low standard deviation using PyTorch-based simulation/eval pipelines for distribution-shift stress testing.
  • Petavue: Reduced analyst review time; cut failed executions and raised workflow success via observability and backend system design following Domain Driven Design.

Resume
