I am a pre-final year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering student at IIT Indore, originally from Pune, Maharashtra. I am deeply passionate about building intelligent systems and scalable pipelines, and I love hopping into the world of AI/ML to truly understand its core functionality. I enjoy my time serving as the Head of ML at GDG and Co-Head of Cynaptics (AIML Club), where I share knowledge about new AI tools, complex algorithms, and engineering best practices. I love to learn new concepts ranging from computer architecture to scalable systems, always striving to bridge the gap between low-level performance and high-level impact. I am largely self-taught, having learned mostly from YouTube videos and free resources, though a few online courses have also helped me along the way. I also love spending my time fixing issues in ML frameworks like PyTorch, Diffusers, etc., or solving competitive algorithmic problems on LeetCode, Codeforces, and Deep-ML. When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me playing chess or football, or out hiking and exploring places where I have never been to. If I'm doing none of the above, I'm probably staring at my screen wondering why this piece of code worked on the first try :)
Here are few of my deployed projects go check out:
-
Attira AI - Virtual Try-On Platform
A state-of-the-art virtual try-on platform that significantly outperforms commercial models in image realism. It is powered by an advanced agentic pipeline utilizing FLUX Fill + Redux alongside a fine-tuned SegFormer B2. Optimized with FP8 quantization & regional compilation to cut cold-starts 6x on Modal Labs.

Causal Flux - Hybrid Vector + Graph RAG
A causality-aware RAG to analyze complex service transcripts. Leverages multi-hop reasoning via agents, cross-encoder reranking, PPR, and agglomerative clustering for optimal retrieval, validated by rigorous ablation studies.
