I am a master's student in computer vision (MSCV) at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests lie in vision-language models (VLMs), 3D vision, and generative models.
Previously, I worked at streamingo.ai on human activity recognition with VLMs, and as a research assistant at the Vision and AI Lab, IISc, under the mentorship of Prof. Venkatesh Babu, where I explored diffusion models and 3D Gaussian splatting. Before that, I was a software development engineer at Cashfree Payments.

I also maintain a blog where I jot down learnings, experiences, and ideas—writing helps me clarify concepts and share insights with others.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss interesting problems in computer vision!
