Hi there! I am currently enrolled in the MS+PhD dual degree program at the CSE department, IIT Bombay. I am broadly interested in geometric deep learning, machine learning on graphs, and developing neural surrogates for hard problems. I am advised by Prof. Abir De and have had the fortune of working with expert collaborators on multiple projects.

I graduated from the MS by research program here at IIT Bombay in June of 2024, and subsequently opted to continue as a PhD student. Prior to that, I worked as a full-stack software engineer at Instahyre, a recruitment startup whose product matches candidates to jobs in a hassle-free manner and with reasonably high accuracy. I was promoted to Head of Engineering for my contributions and had a great time there in general.
