About

I like building things that feel slightly too ambitious for the time available.

I'm pursuing B.Tech CSE at KMIT alongside the IIT Madras BS in Data Science and Applications. Most of my work sits between research prototypes, hackathon systems, and full-stack products — usually with too many tabs open and an unreasonable deadline nearby.

The thread

My work keeps circling one idea: take uncertain, messy, high-stakes problems — AI reliability, misinformation, robotics, product systems — and turn them into working, explainable, shipped systems with proof behind them.

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.
