I am a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India working with Nagarajan Natarajan and Aditya Kanade on understanding the limitations of LLMs and improving their capabilities to automate the software engineering pipeline. Previously, I have also collaborated with Nishanth Chandran, Dimitrios Dimitriadis, and Divya Gupta on problems related to privacy-preserving machine learning (ppml). I did my undergrad from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal. My interests lie in Machine Learning, specifically in trustworthy ML focusing on generalizability, ppml, and interpretability.
I am on the job market for industry and academic positions! Feel free to reach out if you think I might be a fit.
