In July 2022, I graduated top of my class from IIIT Hyderabad with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science (with Honors) and an MS in Computational Linguistics.
At IIIT-H, I was a Student Researcher in the Information Retrieval and Extraction Lab (iREL), Language Technologies Research Center (LTRC), where I was advised by Prof. Vasudeva Varma and Dr. Manish Gupta.
I also worked part-time as an Applied Research Engineer with Apple, where I designed Machine Learning models to solve specific Natural Language Processing (NLP) & Information Extraction (IE) problems in the space of Apple Maps.
