I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Bloomberg AI, where I work on machine learning for real-time bond valuation and fixed-income pricing (we are IBVAL!).

I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, where I was advised by Dr. Ismini Lourentzou as part of the Perception and Language (PLAN) Lab. My award-winning thesis, "Commonsense for Zero-Shot Natural Language Video Localization," explored the integration of commonsense knowledge into video-language understanding. At Virginia Tech, I was also affiliated with the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics. I completed my Bachelor's in Computer Science (Data Science specialization) from PES University, India.

My research interests span Multimodal Machine Learning and Reasoning, especially at the intersection of language and vision, and I'm now expanding into machine learning applications within the financial domain.

I'd love to connect and chat about multimodal ML, reasoning systems, or financial AI — feel free to reach out!
