Hi! I'm a computer science & economics undergrad at BITS Pilani, Goa interested in ml+sys & rl.

I'm advised by Prof. Arnab Paul at the Data, Systems and High Performance Computing (DaSH) Lab where I worked on decentralizing federated learning* & optimizing databases in collab with e6data.

I'm also affiliated with APPCAIR where I work with Prof. Ashwin Srinivasan, Prof. Tanmay Verlekar and Dr. Manasi Patwardhan on enhancing LLM-based multi-modal multi-document QA. I also worked with Prof. Ahmed Sayed at Queen Mary University of London on improving fairness in federated learning*.

In my free time, I binge shows (at 1.95x), learn the lyrics to what's on the radio and fail to start reading books again. @eigengravy most places on the internet.
