✈️ From flight hardware and software to country-scale digital programs, from graph algorithms to peer-reviewed systems work: I like to map the whole system, cut the risk, and ship something you can measure and defend. 📊
Tesla
2026
Joining the finance and AI interface where models meet capital, controls, and real-world operations. Expectations are simple on paper and exacting in production, which is the kind of constraint set I like to grow inside.
Entrepreneurs First
Feb 2026 to Present
Residency focused on company formation under tight feedback loops with investors and operators. Most of the work is picking problems that deserve a company, then proving the wedge with data and early systems rather than slides alone.

Signal-path validation and module-level checks on the path toward autonomous flight software readiness. Recent work centers on AI-assisted compliance across the SDLC: agentic RAG with human feedback first, then a pivot toward Graph RAG when artifact size and cross-document relationships overwhelmed flat retrieval. The aim is tighter feedback loops for developers and auditors, not a replacement for human judgment.
SRDC, IIT Kharagpur
Jan 2025 to Present
Leading SRDC means shaping research culture, matching mentors to serious projects, and running industry-facing programs students can carry into careers. The goal is fewer performative initiatives and more cohorts that ship measurable outcomes.
Solvable
Jun 2021 to Present
Early-stage venture work across problem discovery, first product shapes, and the systems that let a small team iterate quickly. The through-line is choosing constraints deliberately so the company learns before it scales its assumptions.
Samagra | Transforming Governance
May 2024 to Jul 2024
Migrated core services to Kubernetes for scale and availability, then ran POCs across HA, Patroni, Pgpool-II, Redis clusters, and database load testing. Automation work spanned K8s scripting, Kong, Kaniko, and monitoring with KeepHQ so operators could trust the cluster.
Scale AI
Mar 2024 to Jul 2024 · full-time
Backend and AI engineering on systems where throughput, evaluation quality, and human-in-the-loop workflows interact daily. Work on code-generation tracks sharpened rubric design, reviewer agreement, and how you judge a model when the task is inherently partial. Shipping meant owning reliability, not only model calls, and documenting behavior so downstream teams could depend on the service.
Mitacs
Jul 2023 to Oct 2023 · Ontario
Built and extended a collaborative platform for misinformation research with literature databases at 10k+ resources scale, so scientists could share and query agri-food misinformation sources without fighting the tooling. Refactors targeted site UX, SEO, structure, and user management so the research surface stayed fast, legible, and trustworthy enough for partner teams to rely on daily.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
Nov 2023 to Jan 2024 · Bengaluru
Graph-heavy transit simulation in C/C++ with parallel and concurrent components, including HYPERPATH and RAPTOR-style routing ideas executed on the IISc HPC cluster. Work included many-to-many queries, refactors, testing, and documentation so the codebase could survive beyond a single intern season and support serious research throughput.
May 2023 to Jul 2023 · Bengaluru
Internal tooling for infrastructure monitoring and observability at petabyte scale, with reliability improvements, tests, and documentation alongside senior mentorship. The internship emphasized how operational metrics become product decisions when the data plane is honest.
SamagraX
Sep 2022 to Mar 2023
Open-source ODK manager work plus education platforms for Uttar Pradesh government schools, alongside SQL analytics on farmer databases in Odisha. The stint blended classic GovTech pragmatism with the politics of shipping inside large programs.
Code for GovTech (C4GT)
Jun 2022 to Sep 2022
Led an NFT-based accreditation experiment that matured into W3C Verifiable Credentials architecture and generalized pieces toward open, auditable credentials. Integrated flows with ULP and National Sunbird ED so rewards and attestations could scale without losing traceability, grounded in distributed-systems thinking and GovTech delivery pressure.
Same structure as the public record, written as short prose so every chapter carries similar weight on the page.
IIT Kharagpur
Jul 2024 to Present
Coordinates placement operations for the department, aligning student preparation with recruiter expectations and timelines. Most weeks blend policy clarity, student communication, and the unglamorous logistics that keep offer cycles humane.
National Health Authority
Jun 2025 to Oct 2025 · part-time
Mentored teams building in the GovTech and health stack with an emphasis on delivery realism inside public systems. Sessions tended toward architecture choices, stakeholder language, and how to keep scope honest when incentives push the opposite.
Devine Group
Mar 2025 to Jun 2025
Backend and quantitative work where pipelines, correctness, and latency trade-offs show up in the same day. Useful practice for translating messy market or risk questions into code that can be tested, replayed, and reasoned about.
Stealth AI startup
Feb 2025 to May 2025 · part-time
Full-stack AI product work under confidentiality, mostly shipping features end-to-end with tight iteration cycles. The role reinforced how much product quality still lives in evaluation harnesses, data contracts, and operator-grade UX.
PPGS, IIT Kharagpur
Sep 2024 to May 2025
Policy and governance society work bridging student research energy with questions that actually touch institutions. Events and writing leaned on primary sources and guest practitioners rather than generic debate formats.
Mitacs
Oct 2023 to Jun 2024
Ambassador work for incoming Globalink cohorts: orientation design, community events, and practical onboarding so researchers land productive faster. The role is equal parts logistics and culture, with attention to students arriving from very different contexts.
CNCF
Aug 2023 to Sep 2023
Short mentee track focused on upstream contribution habits, review etiquette, and navigating large OSS repositories. Good compression course on how maintainers signal trust and how newcomers earn merge rights without burning mentors out.
buildspace
Apr 2023 to May 2023
Rapid product experiments on blockchain-adjacent ideas with a shipping cadence measured in days rather than quarters. The fellowship rewarded demos that worked in the wild, not decks that only worked in demo mode.
UniFarm
Jun 2022 to Sep 2022
Research fellowship in DeFi mechanics with emphasis on protocol risk, incentive design, and how token surfaces map to real user behavior. Useful grounding in why financial primitives on chain still need controls and monitoring.
KaroStartup
Feb 2022 to Jun 2022
Project management across early-stage initiatives where scope, vendors, and founders all moved weekly. The job was translating intent into milestones other people could execute without constant renegotiation.
Digital Junction
Nov 2021 to Jun 2022
Built an MVP platform for SaaS discovery and delivery with recommendation algorithms that produced measurable lift in trials. Architecture work stayed close to customer interviews so technical choices did not drift from what buyers actually valued.
CloverBuddies
Sep 2021 to Jun 2022
Co-founded a venture focused on community and education tooling with an emphasis on retention loops that did not feel extractive. Early growth work mixed product, partnerships, and the unromantic ops that keep a young team solvent.
MBrace
Mar 2021 to Feb 2022
Privacy-preserving data tooling with accelerator support from Machenn Innovations, including a win at Startup India Tech Summit against 50+ teams. The chapter taught how privacy narratives have to meet implementation detail or they collapse under scrutiny.
