## Work Experience
### NLP Researcher @ Complex Data Reasoning & Analysis Lab (CoRAL)
Jan 2024 – Present | Tempe, AZ
• Built a scalable evaluation framework for MLLMs that isolates perceptual, spatial, grounding, and fairness failures under 30+ perturbations across 62K+ samples (scalable to 1M+), supporting deployment-facing reliability analysis for foundational VLMs
• Designed Map&Make, a schema-guided and agentic text-to-table pipeline for high-fidelity structured extraction from long-form narratives; evaluated frontier LLMs with 5+ structural and semantic metrics.
• Implemented distributed post-training with LoRA, DPO, and GRPO on A100, H100, and H200 clusters, improving GSM8K and MATH by 20-40% across multiple open-weight LLMs while balancing compute efficiency and stability.
• Co-developed SPORTSQL, an interactive NL-to-SQL and visualization system over live English Premier League data; contributed 1,793 benchmark queries and reached up to 80% exact match and 94% LLM-as-judge accuracy.
• Built annotation and quality-control protocols for human and LLM-assisted evaluation, improving reproducibility, failure analysis, and benchmarking rigor.

### Computer Vision Research Aide @ Arizona State University
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Tempe, AZ
• Developed 3D reconstruction and scene-modeling pipelines for geological formations using Gaussian Splatting and NeRF, emphasizing geometry, viewpoint consistency, and photorealism for simulation-oriented visual analysis.
• Recreated Apollo lunar landing sites for immersive simulation environments, strengthening experience in neural rendering, spatial fidelity, and world-model-like scene representation.

### Assistant Engineer @ Samsung Semiconductor
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

### Teaching Assistant @ Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Course: Software Development for Portable Devices

• Conducted 10 labs on Android Programming and App development.
• Designed 4 quizzes to assess more than 50 students. Restructured the course to Android Development in Kotlin.
• Reviewed over 10 project ideas and mentored over 50 students for group projects.

### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Research topic: Ransomware Analysis
Remodeled a hosted hypervisor with sandboxing to provide an isolated environment for static and dynamic analysis. Tested mainly three ransomware WannaCry, Petya, and CryptoLocker.

### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Hyderabad
Research topic: Machine Learning models for Network Security
Captured USB_BULK and USB_ISOCHRONOUS protocols of USB devices and developed a dataset of 200 malicious and benign files for feature extraction and feature selection. 
Attained nearly 99% accuracy on AutoML models for the dataset.

### Tech and Product Intern @ GiveIndia
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021
Designed and analyzed a fundraising analytical dashboard with data metric filters for program, cause, NGO, period, etc., with PERN(PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js).

### Android App Developer @ Blyndr
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021
• Managed two teams to work on the UI design and database creation. Developed a blind dating app for the LGBTQIA+ community at a startup. Adopted MVVM architecture pattern, Firebase Realtime database, and Firebase Cloud Messaging.
• Published the Blyndr app on Google Play with 500+ downloads and users across 10 countries.
