Technical Intern @Cisco | Prev. Multimodal AI Research @IISc | Final Year CSE student @PES University
I'm a final-year Computer Science undergraduate at PES University, advised by Dr. Gowri Srinivasa, with a strong research focus on Deep Learning and Generative AI Applications. My interests revolve around building scalable and efficient AI systems, with particular emphasis on representation learning, multimodal alignment, contrastive learning, and fine-tuning strategies for foundation models.
I've worked on methods like UnoLoRA for efficient multitask adaptation, explored grounding information better in vision-language models, and developed cross-lingual sparse Mixture of Experts architectures. My broader goal is to make foundation models more aligned, interpretable, and adaptable across tasks and modalities.
In addition to research, I've applied these ideas in real-world settings through roles at IISc, Swiggy, Nokia, and Cisco, where I worked on applying generative AI across practical domains such as finance and healthcare, building conversational recommender systems for personalized item suggestions, solving graph network problems, and designing automated pipelines for data center maintenance and monitoring.
