Do it for the plot
The one with the quarter-life crisis
Hi! I am a first year MSR student at CMU, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Shubham Tulsiani and Professor Deva Ramanan. I am broadly interested in robot learning and reinforcement learning, and understanding what makes their modern algorithms tick.
In a previous life, I worked on building foundational speech models at Smallest.ai and Gan.ai. Even before that I was at Microsoft Bing Travel make their visual content make people go WoW ❤️
During my undergrad I had the pleasure of working in various academic research labs and startups on topics ranging from Computer Vision, to NLP, finance, reinforcement learning. I was also involved in leading various undergrad research groups, focusing on Deep Learning, Core CS, Quantum Computing and Blockchain.
Professional stuff aside, I am a die-hard anime fan, an avid reader, wannabe Musician/Writer/Youtuber? lol (checkout my YT channel and Medium!) and a lifelong learner who’s always up for a good conversation.

The one with the quarter-life crisis
So here I am, on a train ride, visiting my home after a few months, for Holi. I am on official leave from my work and its supposed to be a chill af day, with a lot of relaxation, and mental peace.
Thoughts on a (hopefully) 40+ year career
