About me
I'm a researcher at Microsoft Research, where I work with Gopal Srinivasan's team on building coding agents for Copilot.
Before this, I was a student researcher at Google DeepMind in Frontier AI, led by Raia Hadsell, and a member of the AQUA team led by Aravindan Raghuveer. There I worked on a tool-use agent built on Gemini 3.5 Pro. Earlier this year I was an applied scientist intern at Amazon, in the Central Machine Learning Team under Kaveri Sivaramakrishnan.
I completed my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at PES University. My thesis project, in the Department of CSE, was advised by Dr. Natarajan S.
Outside of work, I like reading classic literature and playing chess.
