What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Research Science Internship where I can analyze and improve advanced algorithms on large-scale datasets, prototype scalable AI systems, and help build reliable, structured evaluation for cutting-edge machine intelligence.

I’m an M.Tech Data Science student with research interests in large language models, agentic AI systems, and scalable machine learning. I enjoy turning advanced ideas into modular, testable pipelines—whether that’s designing evaluation frameworks, running ablation studies, or iterating on empirical results to improve algorithms on large-scale datasets.

My work spans transformer research and applied AI: I’ve implemented Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE) from first principles in PyTorch and studied long-context attention behavior. I also authored a hybrid transfer learning framework for raga recognition and harmonic generation (NadaAI), where a dual-branch audio architecture improved classification accuracy to 74.8% and enabled an end-to-end audio-to-MIDI pipeline.
