I go where my curiosity takes me. And I love solving problems wherever I land.

I've crossed a few domains.

"No clear theme. Just curiosity and problems to solve."

2017 Started in aeronautical engineering at Manipal. Fell in love with fluid dynamics.

2019 Researched wind turbine aerodynamics. Presented at WESC in Ireland. Published in Wind Energy Science.

2021 Pivoted to data engineering at Fractal. Built production systems for Fortune 500s.

2023 Realized AI would change everything. Decided to learn it properly.

2024 Came to CMU, the birthplace of AI.

I've shipped at scale.

3 years at Fractal Analytics building data systems for Fortune 50 clients across healthcare, retail, logistics and marketing.

50,000+ shipments tracked weekly

$20K/month in cloud costs eliminated

100+ GB/day processed, 50% faster

75% reduction in production incidents

I created value by building systems through collaboration with cross-functional teams. By incorporating feedback from the operations team, I improved the reliability of pipelines. I also worked closely with the data warehouse and business teams to make the system scalable and future-proof.

I came here to build a toolkit that evolves with me.

Carnegie Mellon. The birthplace of AI. Dean's List. MISM '25.

I wanted to formalize what I'd learned on the job and truly understand AI from the ground up.

◆ Intro to Deep Learning (PhD-level)
Built PyTorch from scratch. Every tensor, every backward pass.

◆ Distributed Systems
How to build things that don't break at scale.

◆ Operationalizing AI
From model to production.

◆ AI Venture Studio
Building AI products, not just models.

It's easy to build with AI. The hard part is knowing what to build.

Cuddle Code

Technical hiring is broken. Leetcode measures the wrong things. What if we measured how well humans work with AI instead? I pitched this to investors and gained traction. The vision: start with better evaluation, then build toward a talent marketplace where work samples replace applications.

AIWF Odyssey

An agentic AI system for exploring the future of work. Multi-agent simulations that model economic policies and workforce transformation scenarios.

PittPool

No one was carpooling in Pittsburgh. I'm a public transit nerd. I care about sustainability. So I built a rideshare matching app for CMU students.

This Portfolio

Built with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. Features a learning journal synced from Google Docs, light/dark mode, and live stats from my daily practice.

I think about where AI is going.

Not just what we can build, but what we should build. And how it changes everything.

Research @ CMU

Human-AI Collaboration & Future of Work

Working with Prof. Anand Rao. Building agents to simulate policy scenarios: UBI, robot tax, workforce transformation. Inspired by Tom Mitchell's work.

AI Safety

Deepfake Voice Detection

I couldn't tell if a voice was AI-generated. That scared me. So I built a detection system using what I learned in 11-785. Guardrails should keep pace with capabilities.

I love teaching.

Simplifying complex things. Watching someone finally get it.

◆

Rural Gujarat

Taught spoken English to 10th graders at VSK Open School. The entire class passed their board exams.

◆

PLUS Tutoring @ CMU

Math tutor for middle schoolers in Pittsburgh through an AI-assisted tutoring platform.

◆

Homework App

PM intern at an edtech startup. Conducted 50+ user interviews. Helped increase downloads by 50%.

◆

Fractal Academy

Built Jupyter notebooks and hands-on tutorials for their Data Science certificate with Analytics Vidhya.

I contain multitudes.

I was the president of the Astronomy club at Manipal. Started a podcast during COVID-19. Buying a telescope with my first paycheck or building it.

I write songs sometimes and post covers on Instagram. Hand me a mic and a guitar, I'll perform.

I support Arsenal and I think this is the year. Started playing as an adult, still learning but I've scored hattricks with a little help from my friends.

I want to climb more trees, rocks and mountains. I also need more upper body strength.

I want to open a school when I retire.

Curious what I'm working on today?

I keep a public learning journal. Practice problems, books I'm reading, projects I'm building, and random things I find interesting.

Updated daily. Eventually I'll add blog posts here too.

I'm a generalist thriving in the age of AI.

Ideas person. Builder. Curious about energy, healthcare, future of work, and whatever problem is next.

I have the fundamentals: distributed systems, PyTorch from scratch, production pipelines, agents. I'm learning how to work with AI better every day. That's what matters now.

Let's talk.
