Computer Vision and ML Researcher

My primary focus is on production ML and applied research, with a special interest in computer vision and video analytics. Currently, I am part of the video analytics team at Jio Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence. Previously, I have worked as a Machine Learning Research Assistant at skit.ai, where I developed text-to-speech systems, and before that as a Machine Learning Intern at Hike Messenger, where I worked on generation of 3D avatars of human head in real-time. Additionally, I have interned at three other startups, where I trained deep learning models for quick PoCs and put some into production. I was a Google Summer of Code student, where I worked on creating an open-source version of AWS’ Rekognition system and continued to mentor the project for the next two years. I also served as an Open Source Fellow with Major League Hacking, where I contributed to Facebook’s Pysa library. I have had the honor of winning several hackathons, including the Smart India Hackathon, where I led a team in building solutions for the Government of Goa. Looking forward to working on cool and challenging problems in ML (preferably on the generative side but open to others). I would love to work on things end-to-end, including model training, deployment, and ML infra/mlops.
