I'm a CS Grad Student at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where my major focus is on Machine Learning, NLP, and AI applications. Before starting my Master's, I worked as a Software Engineer at Oracle.

At Oracle, I engineered features for financial worksheet optimization, led the development of a Peer Appreciation application, and optimized REST APIs for better performance. I did my Bachelors from IIT Kharagpur where I was advised by Professor Krothapalli Sreenivasa Rao.

Research

I'm interested in Large Language Models (LLMs), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning for Program Synthesis, Reinforcement Learning, and Computer Vision. My research focuses on enhancing LLMs for better reasoning and exploring AI-driven solutions for real-world problems.

Developed an indexing system for video retrieval, integrating keyframe detection and OCR techniques, improving metadata extraction accuracy to 86%.
