Experience
Industry, research, and teaching, from an agentic AI startup to a regenerative-medicine lab.
Degrees
Carnegie Mellon University
GPA 3.91/4.00. Coursework in deep learning, machine learning for AI engineers, systems toolchains for AI, Projects in Biomedical AI, and brain-computer interfaces.
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur
Graduated in the top 1% of the department (GPA 7.97/10), with a specialization in the Science of Intelligence focused on neuroscience and BCI.
Roles
AI Systems Research Engineer, Stealth AI Startup
Built self-evaluating agentic pipelines with governance guardrails and human-in-the-loop review; designed evaluation workbenches over model internals (probing, calibration); built an averaged-Jacobian interpretability lens on Gemma activations, benchmarked against Gemma Scope SAEs under a pre-registered falsification protocol; owned deployment from Raspberry Pi / Jetson edge inference to autoscaling GPUs on Google Cloud. Named inventor on the resulting patent application.
Student Ambassador, BME Graduate Program
Represent the Biomedical Engineering graduate program to prospective and incoming students.
Teaching Assistant, Intro to Biomedical Engineering
Supported instruction, grading, and office hours for the introductory biomedical engineering course.
Researcher, Neuromechatronics Lab
Built a real-time MediaPipe/OpenCV hand-kinematics pipeline and a ROM-normalized joint-angle-to-actuator mapping for closed-loop exoskeleton calibration in assistive-robotics trials.
Student Proctor, Disability Resources
Ensuring exam fairness and integrity while proctoring tests for students with special accommodations.
Research Intern, Centre for Brain Research
Built a bioinformatics pipeline on HPC clusters to estimate genetic risk scores (PRS) for Parkinson's in Indian populations using GWAS data.
Industry Research Intern, Regenerative Medicine
Executed stem cell analysis via flow cytometry (CD34/CD45 markers), performed HLA typing for transplant compatibility, and processed apheresis samples.
Teaching Assistant, Introduction to Bioengineering
Facilitated learning for 236 undergraduate students by coordinating assignments, quizzes, and grading, ensuring timely feedback.
