I am a Data Scientist at the Indian Institute of Science, working with the Department of Computational and Data Sciences and the AIREX Lab under Prof. Sashikumaar Ganesan. My work spans sequence modeling, language models, representation learning, and defense-oriented AI in collaboration with DRDO.

I build research systems that hold up beyond a single experiment: scalable multi-GPU training, reproducible evaluation, data pipelines, and open-source tools. I am also the creator of CoreRec, an open recommendation framework, and contribute to the broader ML ecosystem through projects including Apple AxLearn.

My current interests include radar pulse deinterleaving, state space models, efficient language modeling, numerical representations in LLMs, and AI systems grounded in Indian languages and contexts.
