Hi, I’m an AI/ML Research Scientist at Accenture’s Center for Advanced AI, working on building and evaluating agentic systems and large-scale AI workflows.

I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2024, where my research focused on event understanding in natural language, linguistic variation, and scalable NLP systems. I previously completed my Bachelor’s degree at IIT Hyderabad and my Master’s at CU Boulder.

Before and during my PhD, I accumulated five years of industry experience at HP, where I led the NLP group and co-developed patented work on stochastic modeling for troubleshooting systems. I also completed two research internships at Explosion.ai (spaCy), resulting in peer-reviewed publications.

My academic work includes eight publications, with five first-author papers in 2023–24 and a main-conference ACL acceptance. I also served as a research assistant on two DARPA projects, leading efforts on knowledge graph construction from noisy and conflicting news sources.

I’m especially interested in agentic AI, multi-agent systems, evaluation methodologies, and developer experience for AI frameworks. On GitHub, I share research prototypes, benchmarks, and tools that bridge theory and real-world deployment.
