Neural Build Signal

LLM Research Signals

Hidden-state probing, uncertainty analysis, and hallucination detection shaped through live experimentation at LLM Lens.

Origin Story

Built For High-Contrast Ideas

The goal here is not just to present credentials. It is to frame the way I think, build, and translate technical problems into digital experiences with atmosphere.

Profile

I'm pursuing a BS in Data Science and Programming at IIT Madras alongside a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology, Hyderabad.

I currently work as a Research Intern at LLM Lens on LLM reliability and hallucination detection, and I was part of OpenAI's inaugural ChatGPT Lab for Students India cohort. I also co-authored an arXiv paper on distilling hallucination signals into transformer representations. My best work lives where rigorous ML experimentation, full-stack product thinking, and bold interface design meet.

Base

Hyderabad, India

Availability

Current Work

Research, Leadership, And Execution

Projects matter, but so does the environments where I research, mentor, ship, and contribute. This is the operating layer behind the portfolio.

Featured ExperienceFebruary 2025 - Present

Research Intern

LLM Lens/Remote

Working on LLM reliability and hallucination detection by studying internal transformer representations, uncertainty signals, and cross-layer behavior in modern language models.

Built PyTorch experimentation pipelines to extract hidden-state embeddings from transformer models such as LLaMA and Qwen for token-level and sequence-level hallucination analysis.

Designed cross-layer and hierarchical transformer architectures to model correlations across hidden states for better hallucination classification and uncertainty estimation.

Created scalable dataset generation workflows using Hugging Face models to synthesize prompts, responses, and labeled hallucination corpora for benchmarking.

Implemented evaluation frameworks spanning ROC-AUC, PR-AUC, F1, Expected Calibration Error, Brier score, and threshold optimization for reliability assessment.

Ran reproducible GPU-heavy experiments across CUDA and Colab A100/H100 environments while managing checkpoints, experiment logs, and training pipelines.

Co-authored the arXiv paper 'Weakly Supervised Distillation of Hallucination Signals into Transformer Representations', released on April 7, 2026.
