About Me

I am an MS, Computer Science student at Georgia Institute of Technology, expected to graduate in Spring 2025. My current research focuses on applications of Large Language Models in the field of Natural Language Processing, advised by Prof. Alan Ritter. Previously, I have worked as a Software Engineer at Wells Fargo for 2 years, contributing to back-end development of an enterprise business process management application. I’ve also spent six months researching on Eye Gaze Estimation under Dr. François Brémond as a Research Intern. Apart from my academics, my time goes into following Cricket and Formula Racing.
