Hey!

I'm a data scientist and AI operations engineer focused on building intelligent systems that actually work in production. From building LLM monitoring systems to shipping data pipelines that power real decisions, I enjoy solving complex problems with elegant, scalable solutions. I recently completed my Master's in Data Science at Brown University, where I dove deep into machine learning, natural language processing, and AI fairness. Most recently, I've been working on AI operations and monitoring systems at EliseAI, building the infrastructure that keeps voice AI systems reliable at scale.

At the core of my work is a belief that AI, as a tool, holds the promise to enhance our lives and open doors to ideas and discoveries still unseen. It's here to stay, and by building it thoughtfully, with rigorous monitoring and a focus on reliability, we have a chance to shape a more creative and connected future. This space is a little window into what I'm building, learning, and exploring.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.s. My personal story is all the way at the bottom

Ongoing Project and Ideas

  • Discourse - Live Comments

    date: 2026

    Organization:Ongoing Personal Project

    Description:

    We all watch Netflix, but we watch it alone. You laugh at a joke in The Office or gasp at a plot twist in Stranger Things, and that reaction just vanishes.

    This project, captures that moment. It’s a browser extension that unobtrusively overlays a live comment feed on Netflix, perfectly synced to what you’re watching. But here’s the magic: even if you’re watching alone, you see a real-time echo of popular comments left by others at that exact second. It always feels like a packed theater.

    It’s the global watch party that’s happening 24/7, and it’s the one feature Netflix is missing to make streaming truly social.

    Additional Features include an AfterParty towards the end of each movie to have reddit-like discussions. Several Display features that fit your preference, Spoiler blurs etc.

  • DJ Bruno

    date: 2026

    Organization:Ongoing Personal Project - Ideation

    Description:

    DJ Bruno is a real-time, fully-local personal DJ that curates music by understanding your emotional and situational context through multimodal sensing. It integrates facial expressions, voice input (like humming or singing), screen activity, and location cues to detect what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. These inputs power a central system that pulls from a vector database to build and continuously update a dynamic song queue. Bruno learns your preferences by observing patterns…such as when, where, and how you respond to certain songs, assigning emotional and contextual markers without the need for fine-tuning. A parallel process monitors for shifts in mood or activity, instantly refreshing the queue using song metadata. Users can also give feedback or make specific requests, allowing the system to adapt both in the moment and over time, creating a deeply personalized and responsive listening experience, all while keeping everything private and on-device.

    Bruno Feels your Vibe before you do!

    P.s Brown Bruno Bear be proud

  • Lucidor - Your personal Documentation Guide

    date: 2025

    Organization:Ongoing Personal Project

    Description:

    Lately I have noticed people have completely stopped reading the documentation for coding. I believe reading the documentation for any new technology is such a good practice however its very tedious and overwhelming, especially when there are a bunch of different ways of saying the same thing (and jargons ofc). For solving this very problem, I am building Lucidor! Its a very sleek browser extension that does one and only one thing, takes you to the exact part of the documentation you are looking for. The best part of the extension is the ability to give context to luci and it’ll know exactly the kind of project you’re building, making it certain that when you mean "memory" you mean "State Management" part of Langgraph.

    More information is coming soon!

    Description:

    Our project implements a deepfake detection model based on a paper that targets zero-day deepfakes, ones the system hasn’t seen before. Unlike traditional supervised classifiers, this approach detects inconsistencies between a deepfake and its associated claims (e.g., captions, identity, or audio-visual alignment) to flag manipulations, addressing the growing threat of misinformation and reputational harm.

    Description:

    Engineered a data pipeline to ingest over 100,000 betting records from Polymarket and the Polygon Blockchain, capturing individual-level betting behaviors for the 2024 USA election and analyze cross-market betting behaviors and patterns. Applied a Bayesian cascade model (inspired by the monotone likelihood ratio property) to quantify herd behavior and the “wisdom-of-crowd” effects, modeling each bettor’s decision as a signal that updates the posterior probability of adoption.

Personal Story

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, always drawn to building things with my hands and figuring out how stuff works. In 5th grade, I started learning CATIA and built little mockups of Beyblades using magnets, just because I was curious about how to make them spin and move the way I saw in the anime. Around that same time, I started making websites, simple ones at first, but I was fascinated by how writing a few lines of code could turn into something real on the screen.

Later, I moved to India and lived across different states, which helped me pick up a mix of languages and perspectives. Somewhere during that time, my family was working on building a home, and I used SketchUp to design a detailed mockup of it, something I’m still proud of, especially since it actually got built.

I went on to study computer science at SRM, mostly because I’ve always loved the feeling of making ideas real. During the pandemic, I built a live COVID tracker for my town in India, combining API integration, Vue.js for the frontend, and GitHub for data. I also created a system to help students on campus recover lost items, using a pretty scrappy image recognition model but effective enough approach that it was actually tested and used.

Eventually, that curiosity led me to data science and AI. I realized the biggest impact wasn't in building isolated projects .... it was in building systems that others rely on. My Master's at Brown and recent work on AI operations and monitoring systems at EliseAI cemented that. Now I'm focused on making sure intelligent systems are reliable, observable, and actually work when deployed.

Through all of it, I’ve just followed my curiosity ... learning whatever skill I needed to bring an idea to life. Whether it’s something small or something a bit more ambitious, the goal’s always been the same: making something real out of a thought and making it useful.
