What I'm looking for

I seek research-oriented ML roles focused on ASR, CV, or NLP where I can build and deploy efficient models, mentor teams, and drive measurable accuracy and pipeline improvements.

I am an M.Tech candidate in Computer Science with specialization in Artificial Intelligence, experienced in machine learning research, ASR fine-tuning, and satellite-imagery change detection. I have delivered measurable improvements in accuracy and efficiency across research projects and internships.

At IIIT Delhi and affiliated labs I mentored students, conducted tutorials on advanced ML topics, and led ASR work that reduced WER by 5% using 300+ hours of atypical speech data and four state-of-the-art models. I built PyTorch training pipelines that cut fine-tuning time by 35% and used tools such as Hugging Face, Whisper, HuBERT, and wandb.

I also redesigned CNN-based systems for urban change detection with 92% accuracy, decreased annotation workload by 60%, and optimized training workflows with TensorFlow and Keras. I combine strong core skills in ML/DL, practical engineering of pipelines, and hands-on experience producing deployable models.
