Hi! I am currently building my company doing large scale data quality research for advancing model capabilities. We are currently in stealth mode and will share more soon.
Before that, most recently I was at Parallel (very early 10 employees), where I built and released our SOTA web deep-research agents and spent a lot of time understanding agentic architecture and building datasets and evals. Prior to that, I was doing my PhD at MIT Media Lab with Prof. Ramesh Raskar on Deep Learning and Foundational Model research where I published a bunch of research in understanding models and data distributions for model training with my amazing collaborators and labmates. During my PhD, I had the pleasure to intern at Apple MLR, doing cool research with amazing researchers Navdeep Jaitly and Josh Susskind and Samy Bengio where I mostly worked on text-image diffusion models. I decided to drop out of my PhD after a couple years, which was not an easy decision but I realized I wanted to do more industry related product driven research.
Prior to MIT, I did my bachelors from India in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Delhi. During my undergrad years, I had been fortunate to pursue research with amazing people and industry labs including Adobe MDSR team, Amazon IML team and Peter Jossen at ETH Zurich.
Fun fact: I love travelling and spent ~4 months during my undergrad exchange semester backpacking across Europe, sleeping in trains and living off of bread and neutella :P
