About Me

I'm a 3rd year B.Tech CSE'28 student at Shiv Nadar University, and an Applied AI Software Engineer and AI researcher building with LLMs, AI agents and retrieval systems.

I've interned at as a Software Engineering & ML intern and at EY as a Salesforce developer intern. My research focuses on LLMs, especially continual learning and catastrophic forgetting.

I love learning, so I keep upskilling in AI engineering and system design and reading engineering blogs. I also take part in hackathons and solve problems on LeetCode and Codeforces.

I'm interested in opportunities in AI research and software engineering.
