Education

  • 2024 - 2028
    B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science)
    Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai
    • CGPA 9.34 / 10

Experience

  • Mar 2026 - Jun 2026
    AI Engineer Intern
    AhumLabs, Mumbai
    • Built RAG for a voice/chat assistant on a multi-tenant trading platform, pulling tenant knowledge and past transaction history so users could fill bunker forms and look up vessel/pricing details in natural language.
    • Shipped admin tooling for tenant onboarding, form customization, and knowledge uploads; each client's form fields and retrieval context feed directly into the assistant's tool schemas and prompts.
    • Owned the embedding and indexing stack with local ONNX and Atlas Vector Search, including auto-indexing for new transactions and backfill scripts for existing data.

Projects

  • 2026
    ANVIL - Compliance-Grade RAG Over ASME Standards
    Python, Pydantic, NetworkX, sqlite-vec, FastAPI
    • Built a compliance-grade RAG system for pressure-vessel queries with auditable provenance, achieving 0.950 pass rate and 1.000 calculation correctness on a 100-example SPES-1 benchmark with NVIDIA NIM.
    • Engineered a hybrid retrieval stack combining BM25, sqlite-vec embeddings, and a typed NetworkX knowledge graph via RRF and reranking, reaching 1.000 retrieval recall@10.
    • Shipped a bounded agentic tool loop with transcript logging and guardrails; diagnosed loop failure modes and improved agent pass rate from 0.460 to 0.640.
  • 2025
    MythForge - Agentic Mythology Engine
    Python, Gemini, LlamaIndex, Gradio, Neo4j, Mem0
    • Architected a multi-phase generative pipeline transforming a single seed concept into a fully interconnected mythology using Gemini, LlamaIndex RAG, and Pydantic-validated entities.
    • Built an MCP server with 7 tools enabling external AI agents to create, query, and expand mythologies programmatically.
    • Engineered graph-backed memory and retrieval with Mem0 and Neo4j to maintain cross-entity consistency and long-horizon coherence across generated worlds.
  • 2026
    ImmunoPath - Immunotherapy Decision Support Pipeline
    Python, PyTorch, LoRA, Hugging Face, Gradio
    • Built a 4-model clinical decision-support pipeline combining MedGemma, TxGemma, Path Foundation, and MedSigLIP to predict 8 immune biomarkers directly from routine H&E slides.
    • Curated 60,396 patches across 950 TCGA NSCLC patients and diversity-selected 7,574 via K-Means for LoRA fine-tuning of a 4B vision-language model on A100-SXM4-80GB GPUs.
    • Improved structured prediction reliability to 100% JSON/schema compliance and reduced TIL MAE to 0.16 on 94 held-out patients through response-only loss masking.
  • 2025
    Ghosts in the Model - Machine Unlearning & Interpretability
    Python, PyTorch, Transformers, GPT-2, LoRA
    • Evaluated Gradient Ascent and NegLoRA unlearning on GPT-2 over 59 landmark-to-city forget prompts, reducing forget probability to 7.6% and 0.8%, respectively.
    • Designed Lazarus activation patching to restore 89.7-100% of forgotten behavior, showing knowledge was suppressed rather than erased despite decodable residual representations in linear probes.
  • 2026
    ToolFusion - Middleware for Agent Tools
    Python, Agent Tooling, Semantic Caching
    • Built middleware for AI agent tools with semantic caching, single-flight coalescing, deduplication, and cross-tool fusion.
    • Designed the project around faster, cheaper, and more reliable agent execution in tool-heavy workflows.
  • 2026
    Multi-Domain GRPO Reasoning
    JAX, Gemma, GRPO, TPU
    • Trained Gemma2 for transparent reasoning across multiple domains using GRPO.
    • Reached 100% format accuracy and 60.8% exact accuracy in the Google Tunix Hackathon project.

Achievements

  • 4th place (Creative, Track 2) at Anthropic & Gradio's MCP 1st Birthday Hackathon with 7,000+ global participants.
  • Second Runner-Up at TechnoGrad 3.0 (DJSCE, Mumbai).
  • Top 40 rank in DataHack 3.0, Mumbai's largest datathon.
  • Open-source contributor to Stanford CRFM's HELM and TransformerLens.

Extracurriculars

  • Sept 2025 - May 2026
    Co-Committee Member (Machine Learning)
    DJS S4DS, Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai
    • Designed ML/NLP problem statements for hackathons and workshops; built dataset curation and automated evaluation pipelines.
