Passionate about research, I joined the AI scene in 2018 to solve business problems using machine learning and deep learning. There are days that I used to dread being a student but ironically now I call myself a 'Forever student'. True to my self proclamation, one can see me consume the newest research ideas and apply them in my work. Among other things, you will find that I work to solve puzzles that inspire people to consider their relationship with the data faction while contributing to the community and now have decided to connect with people via my writing.

Layered by years of experience in Computer Vision and NLP, my interest has now shifted to Knowledge Graphs and Graph Neural Networks. Chennai is my home but you can find me on one too many weekend getaways. I love Cars and Stars and everything in between. If you really do want to hear about it, come say hi!
