About
AI/ML Engineer and Healthcare AI Researcher. Building intelligent systems that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world healthcare applications.
My Story

I build AI systems and publish research. My work covers agentic architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, healthcare ML, and knowledge graphs. I'm interested in systems where correctness matters — clinical settings, structured knowledge extraction, and multi-agent coordination where a wrong answer has real consequences.
Currently, I'm an AI Research Associate at Harvard Medical School & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an Elite AI Research Assistant at Amrita AI (Faridabad). I've published four papers across Elsevier's Procedia Computer Science and Springer conference proceedings (ICTCS).
I won the NASA Space Apps Challenge Local Impact Award in 2024 for an AI system built in 48 hours. Before that, I published my first conference paper during my B.Tech. The through-line in my work is building things that work, writing about what I learn, and treating every project as a chance to move the field forward — even if just incrementally.

Values
Research as Practice
Publish findings, share methodology, and treat every project as an opportunity to contribute something reproducible to the field.
Build What Ships
A system that runs on your laptop is a prototype. A system that handles edge cases, has monitoring, and doesn't crash at 2 AM is engineering.
Write to Think
Writing clarifies ideas that feel clear in your head. Technical writing, papers, and post-mortems are how I refine what I think I know.
Compound Over Time
Skills, publications, and open-source contributions accumulate. The goal isn't a single big break. It's consistency across years.
