At UMass, I worked with Prof. Hao Zhang at the Human-Centered Robotics Lab , focusing on Vision-Language Integration to enable robots to reference arbitrary objects. ## Experience ### Founding Machine Learning Engineer & Lead Architect — Dylog Inc _San Jose, CA · Aug 2023 - Present_ Serve as the principal architect, spearheading the development and design of Dylog Inc's conversational AI and search platform. - Developed pipelines for synthetic data generation, tailored for e-commerce platforms, improving search results by 20% (internal evaluations). - Developed a hybrid search framework combining Elasticsearch, ColBERT, and llama, integrating keyword-based and vector-based retrieval for enhanced search accuracy. - Designed and implemented agentic workflows for automating sales data processing from emails, text messages, and contact forms, reducing order processing time by 2 hours. ### Graduate Student Researcher — Human-Centered Robotics Lab, UMass Amherst _MA · Sept 2022 - May 2023_ Working with Professor Hao Zhang on multi-modal learning approaches. - Experimenting with multi-modal learning approaches based on DETR and GLIP to obtain attribute-based representations from natural language descriptions and visual features for object instance recognition and tracking. ### Machine Learning Engineer, Intern — Ribbon Communications _Westford, MA · Sept 2022 - Dec 2022_ Implemented advanced machine learning solutions for user behavior analysis. - Implemented a multi-modal deep learning model for categorizing of user behavior based on VoIP traffic, images, and textual data gathered from user browsing sessions. - Worked end-to-end on the project, from data collection to successful deployment. ### Software Engineer Intern — Vertica _Pittsburgh, PA · June 2022 - August 2022_ Worked with Data Optimization and Backup team on database solutions. - Developed an algorithm to improve and optimize database re-shading method in Eon mode. - Extended this algorithm to improve backtracking of newly created storage containers while performing operations like re-shard, ILM and alter table. - Designed and developed pipelines for data analytic and machine learning teams to work on backup and restoring information. ### Graduate Student Researcher — Meta _Amherst, MA · Jan 2022 - July 2022_ Research on cross-modal transformer approaches for video analysis. - Proposed an advanced cross-modal transformer approach with a video frame-level contrastive loss to reveal the correlation between language queries and video clips, focusing on Natural Language Query tasks for the Ego4d dataset. - This approach resulted in an improvement in the baseline with a IoU 0.5 recall @ 5 of 8.2 and recall @ 3 of 4.8. ### Head of Product Development — RenderPub _Bangalore, India · Jun 2018 - May 2021_ Lead architect, developer, and designer for RenderPub Studio, Stitch & Walk, architectural visualization softwares. - Developed Common Unreal Modules (CUM) - a modular C++ / Blueprint system for RenderPub's Unreal Engine based applications. - Developed and implemented a 360-degree panoramic image loading algorithm utilizing tile-based streaming, three.js, WebGL, and OpenCV. - Developed a desktop application utilizing Next.js, Electron, and React to launch and auto-update the RenderPub suite of applications and projects. ### Co-founder — Yourkraft _Bangalore, India · Feb 2016 -
