Machine Learning Engineer at Vijil

Hi! I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Vijil, where I work on building tools to evaluate and improve the trustworthiness of AI agents and large language models.

I completed my M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I was a research assistant at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) and a Graduate Student Instructor for the Department of Computer Science and Engineerng. Prior to Michigan, I worked as a Software Engineer at Microsoft where I worked on improving the quality of Bing's search index, and even further back, I interned at Intel where I researched few-shot object detection.

My interests broadly span safe & trustworthy ML, governance of AI systems, uncertainty quantification, and data-efficient learning.

Food Map

I know I won't be able to visit every country in the world, but I hope to atleast try their food. You can explore an interactive map of all the countries whose cuisine I've tried so far.
