I am a Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at Northwestern University, with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIITDM Kancheepuram. My interests lie in computer vision, multimodal AI, NLP and machine learning for real-world impact. At TensorGo, an AI startup, I built production-ready computer vision pipelines for an animation studio, using DINOv3, SAM, and MMSEG with GStreamer to automate rotoscopy on EXR frames, delivered via a Gradio POC. I also designed SQVQA, a self-questioning VQA pipeline combining Qwen2-VL with OFA, inspired by self-supervised learning. Additionally, I optimized 3D CNNs with Temporal Shift Modules and ResNeXt-101, trained on NVIDIA A100 GPUs, and deployed them efficiently on the Jetson Nano using TensorRT. Earlier, I applied ML to EEG brain signals to classify emotional states.

I am open to opportunities at Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, New Relic, NVIDIA, Adobe, media/AI startups, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI.
