I am a Masters of Science in Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz working in Visualization & Interactive Systems lab researching Multimodal Question Answering under supervision of Prof. Alex Pang and Prof. James Davis. I also tutor for CSE107: Probability and Statistics for Engineers class at UCSC(Fall’24, Winter’25).
Before joining UCSC, I worked as a Software Engineer at FleetSafe, where I contributed to the development of a radar-camera-based surveillance system that is now deployed in 50+ locations. I also completed internships at FleetSafe and Upepo previously.
I had graduated from Panjab University with a major in Information Technology in 2023. I used to work at MDaRT DIC UIET under Prof. Mamta Juneja with brain tumor team which led to my publication on MRI denoising.
I have been actively involved in the open-source community participating in GSOC’22, OSPP’21, GSSOC’21, and PSOC’20 where I worked on projects spanning image processing, sentiment analysis, and machine learning.
My research interests lie in utilizing computer vision and graphics to understand the world better. I enjoy working with embedded systems and solving algorthmic puzzles.
