I am a first year Masters Student majoring in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Dhruv Batra and Prof. Devi Parikh.

Prior to grad school, I spent a year as a research assistant in the Machine Learning and Perception lab at Virginia Tech, working on applying deep learning approaches to Visual Question Answering. Previously, I worked as a software developer at Adobe Systems India on Adobe Captivate Prime, a newly-launched SAAS-based Learning Management System for enterprise.

I received my Bachelor's in Computer Science from BITS Pilani in July 2015. Over the course of my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to be introduced to computer vision via research internships at Adobe and Tonbo Imaging that I greatly enjoyed. For a detailed list, please take a look at my CV.

I am an open-source contributor to CloudCV and served as a mentor for Google Summer of Code twice in '16 and '17 for the Fabrik project. I also occasionally dabble in writing, playing the guitar, and distance running.
