Experience & Leadership

Software Engineering Intern – Knowledge Map

Sep 2025 – Present

University of Wisconsin-Madison

  • Supporting development of Knowledge Map, an RShiny-based analytics platform funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, with a focus on improving UI responsiveness and interactivity.
  • Assisting in building new visualization features (map overlays, interactive dashboards) to make survey insights more accessible to community stakeholders.
  • Collaborating with the research team on survey data analysis (5,000+ responses), exploring methods like confidence intervals and representativeness scoring to improve reliability.

Machine Learning Researcher

Jan 2026 – Present

Pondicherry University

  • Conducting applied research on robust and bias-aware machine learning models for high-stakes decision systems.
  • Studying model behavior under uncertainty, noise, and distribution shift, emphasizing evaluation beyond accuracy.
  • Implementing and benchmarking interpretable ML techniques and confidence calibration methods to support reliable human–AI decision-making.
  • Designing reproducible experimental pipelines and collaborating with faculty toward publishable research outcomes.

Machine Learning Engineer & Co‑Founder – RedElevenLabs

Jan 2025 – Aug 2025
  • Built and deployed an AI content-safety platform that fingerprints client face/voice and scans surface & dark-web sources (∼500 videos/min), flagging deepfakes and unauthorized content in <120 ms via FastAPI microservices (Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, Tor, SerpAPI).
  • Raised face-match precision to 95% and age-verify accuracy to 93% via Bayesian hyperparameter tuning; maintained >90% test coverage with GitHub Actions CI/CD.
  • Secured $7 K seed funding (2/250 teams, Transcend UW Innovation Competition 2025) by demonstrating measurable impact on safety compliance.

Software Engineering Intern – PACCAR (Contract)

Jun 2024 – Aug 2024
  • Maintained & optimized logistics modules (15K+ LOC) to increase stability and performance.
  • Created JUnit integration tests and automated builds/deployments via Jenkins.

Software Engineer – EcoClosetApp

Oct 2023 – May 2024
  • Built predictive analytics model (R/Python) to rate clothing brands on ESG scores; +60% accuracy over baseline.
  • Designed SQL + Firestore pipelines and caching layers, cutting retrieval time by ~25%.

Leadership & Community

Ongoing
  • Speaker at UW Pitch Madness & Build with AI Meetups (Agentic AI & Trade Automation talk).
  • Contributor to IEEE/academic papers on Digital Twin & ESG (patent in progress).
