Building at the intersection of infrastructure, research & words. Building at the
intersection
of infrastructure,
research & words.

I'm a software developer, researcher, and technical writer working across AI infrastructure, data systems, and biomedical AI.

By day, I'm at IBM in the Data & AI division, contributing to watsonx.data, a hybrid open data lakehouse purpose-built for AI workloads. I've built wxdctl (a production Golang CLI for Kubernetes CRD operations across ROKS/Azure), driven a 90% cloud storage cost reduction, led IaC cleanup for the Cloud VPC initiative, contributed to FedRAMP CVE remediation, and worked on the OpenSearch acquisition tech preview, Agentic AI patent work, and agentic govtech initiatives. I also lead the Speaking & Authoring Working Group under IBM ISL's Core-X initiative.

In parallel, I'm a remote Software Engineering Researcher at UIUC, where our team's ISSTA 2026 paper on reproducibility and evidentiary rigor in bug reporting was recently accepted (23.6% acceptance). I'm also a Volunteer Research Associate at Georgia Tech, a Biomedical AI Researcher with Dartmouth (schizophrenia symptom prediction from passive sensing), and a Collaborative Researcher with CMU (medical vision-language models, interpretability, trustworthy biomedical foundation models).

Earlier, I interned at Niramai Health Analytix on breast-cancer screening tools, did research at IIT Hyderabad on gene regulatory networks via PySCENIC, and built Project ROOTS, a cognitive-games app for delaying dementia onset that won the Cisco ThingQbator national cohort, reached 350+ users, and whose extension was accepted as a poster at ACM womENcourage 2026.

I led Hackerspace (HSP), the largest FOSS community at PES University, started Project Expo, and was a core member of GDSC and ACM-W chapters. I've taught Linear Algebra and Generative AI as a TA, mentor through Sitara Akka and Women in HPC, independently mentor students from rural Karnataka and mentees globally across countries including Turkey, the UK, Australia, and the US, review for AIES 2026, ICLR MemAgents, GopherCon US, and PEARC 2026, and serve as Editor & Writer for kubernetes-sigs/lwkd.

I write at the intersection of technology and accessibility: swiftieintech, my newsletter that uses Taylor Swift's discography as a thematic frame for removing abstraction in technical concepts (2,000+ readers globally), and I also work as a content strategist for Aishwarya Srinivasan's 1M+ AI community, lead brand partnerships, and help shape technical storytelling across creator-led AI education.
