I am the founding engineer at Optica Industries. Optica is building CV tools to solve the information assymetry problem in the American Metal Industry. We are backed by Lightspeed and Neo. If you are interested in joining, reach out.
I love ML and consumer AI exploring new ways to interact with reality & imagination. I am a part of Neo and scout for Clay VC where we invest as early as possible, and were among the first investors of companies like Eleven Labs and Mistral AI.
Previously, I was an ML Engineer at Persona AI, where I worked on Robot Learning and MLOps. Persona is building humanoids to automate industrial workflows and currently has a deal with HD Hundai. I also worked on Video Understanding and low-latency CV at Sieve Data powering video datasets for Frontier AI Labs.
I am interested in novel methods to represent and interact with reality. My interests include but are not limited to Neural Radiance Fields, World Modelling, & JEPAs. I research Gaussian Splatting at the Computational Imaging Group. Previously, I worked on Colloidal Robotics at the MIT Media Lab, researched Li/Na-ion batteries at the Ajayan Group, and energy devices at IIT Guwahati.
