A little about my background

I'm a final-year student in the Data Science and Applications programme at IIT Madras, working across ML/DL, MLOps, and backend engineering. My research has taken me from graph neural networks for drug discovery to anomaly detection in smart grids — and into a co-authored publication along the way.

Alongside coursework, I mentor as a teaching assistant to over 5,000 students — mostly a good reminder that explaining an idea clearly is harder than understanding it.

Let's talk.

If any of this looks like a fit, I'd welcome the chance to discuss it. Happy to share more detail on any project above.
