Info

I am currently doing AI Research full-time independently, focused on AI Alignment, Multilingual models, Agents, and Agent evals. Along the way, I've worked hands-on with language-model training and post-training, reinforcement learning, mechanistic interpretability, and multi-agent systems. I also maintain isindiakeepingup.com, which tracks India's LLM release pace against the US, China, Singapore, and South Korea.

Previously, I was a Software Engineer at Ohara, where I owned the core frontend, shipped it as a live Base miniapp, and built the embedding pipeline for AI-generated apps. Before that, I interned at OK Health, where I built their embeddable AI chatbot.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Data Science from Arizona State University in 2025. During college, I won 6+ hackathons, including at Harvard and Yale, and built viral websites like Your-Wrapped, iammusic2024.com, and World Fan Arena, which together reached 200k+ unique visitors.

To learn more, you can read my research and technical notes, view my research CV or explore my professional work.

I'm open to research roles and collaborations at academic or industry AI labs. If you're working on related problems, email me.
