Software engineer — ML Platform

I work on edge inference and backend systems that deliver computer-vision surveillance at scale at Dragonfruit AI.

I completed my MS in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Koustuv Saha, and was awarded the J. N. Tata Endowment scholarship. Before that I was an ML Scientist at Onward Assist, working on AI-assisted pathology.

Let’s build tech that makes a difference.
