Work

Where my code met real users: production AI at BNY, and earlier work at Cognizant and Stanford.

  1. Jul 2024 to Jul 2025

    BNY

    Developer Analyst, Production Services (AI/MLOps, automation monitoring), Chennai

    • Conversational AI platform. Real-time compliance monitoring for automation coverage and resiliency across US and EMEA, built on RAG-based LLMs, Kafka and REST APIs. Reached 97% compliance at 95% accuracy. Won the firm's HackAIThon.
    • AI-driven incident management. An LLM root-cause analysis framework (LangChain, Gemini, Claude, Streamlit) for the Asset Servicing line of business. Cut P3/P4 triage time by 80%.
    • TrustForge AI. A 5-agent LLM verification pipeline for Controls and Corporate Actions that flags hallucinations and returns cited, confidence-scored answers grounded in evidence. Benchmarked on 500+ queries across 4 reliability metrics.
    • Capacity forecasting and payment routing. Benchmarked ARIMA against Prophet and shipped Prophet for 55% lower MAPE. Built an ML payment-channel router that cut transaction costs by 40%; it placed in the top 1% of 147+ entries at the internal Global AI Expo.
    • AutoRFC. A GPT-4o pipeline that reads code changes, writes and updates ServiceNow change requests with context, and closes them on approval. Cut manual change effort by 70% for the global SRE team.
  2. Jan 2024 to Jun 2024

    BNY

    Analyst Intern, UK Asset Servicing Engineering, Chennai

    • CTOC Sentinel. An incident-reporting chatbot in Python (LangChain, GPT-3.5 Turbo, custom APIs) that surfaces root causes in real time. Recurring incidents dropped 68%.
    • Unified Automation Portal. A MERN-stack portal that brought automation coverage, touchpoint reduction and monitoring compliance for 7 lines of business into one place, with one-click test runs through ServiceNow and Ansible.
    • Automated user access reporting. Java microservices with asynchronous processing for client reporting. Saves UK and US teams 20 hours a month, with 89% file-monitoring coverage.
  3. Jan 2023 to May 2023

    Cognizant

    CAFÉ sponsored project, team lead of 4

    • Designed a pluggable logging framework for errors and exceptions in Python services, with file-system and database sinks, as a reusable microservice component. Cognizant adopted it into production. Won Best Overall Project and Best Software Engineer.
  4. Apr 2021 to Jun 2021

    Stanford Code in Place

    Section Leader, CS106A

    • One of 1,100 section leaders chosen worldwide to teach Stanford's intro programming course during the pandemic. Ran weekly sections and one-on-one help, from loops to classes.

RaftKV

Distributed key-value store

A 5-node cluster that agrees on every write using Raft consensus: leader election, log replication and snapshotting, written from scratch. Stress-tested by crashing nodes and partitioning the network mid-traffic, then checking every history for linearizability.

LedgerFlow

Payments platform

A Stripe-style double-entry ledger with idempotent transfers and outbox events, so money is never created or lost on retries. Webhooks are signed and retried with a dead-letter queue, so receivers that go down still get every event.

    Webhooks to merchant server up

      Every payment writes balanced debit and credit lines in one transaction, keyed by an idempotency key, so a retried request returns the original result instead of charging twice. Events leave through an outbox and are retried with exponential backoff; after 5 failures they park in a dead-letter queue until replayed. Time is sped up.

      OrderBook

      Low-latency matching engine

      A price-time priority matching engine in modern C++ with no allocations on the hot path and lock-free queues between stages. Fuzz-tested for correctness and replayed against 10 million real Binance L2 events.

        Innovative Research Award 2024

        SafeMind AI

        Suicide-risk detection with a support chatbot

        An attention-based transformer that flags suicide risk in social-media text, paired with a chatbot that responds with support. Tuned for recall on the minority class, because a missed at-risk post costs far more than a false alarm. Accepted at IEEE ETIS 2025.

        Best Undergraduate Thesis 2024

        Scene Interpretation for the Visually Impaired

        Real-time vision and language on a phone

        A mobile app that looks at a scene and describes it aloud. GAN-based enhancement cleans up dark or noisy frames, a detector finds objects, and a ResNet-LSTM captioner turns them into a sentence, trained on a custom-labelled dataset. Selected for presentation at AICCC 2024 in Tokyo; a journal version (Retina) adds transformers.

        MMSegNet

        Multimodal fusion for brain image segmentation

        A CNN that fuses MRI, CT and PET scans before segmenting, because each modality sees something the others miss: MRI shows soft tissue, CT shows bone, and PET shows metabolic activity. Fusing them gives clinicians one clearer view of a lesion.

        Metacognitive RBF Network

        Power-usage forecasting, Centre of Excellence in Data Science

        A memory-enhanced radial basis function network that forecasts electricity use for college buildings, so loads can be planned rather than reacted to. The metacognitive part decides what to learn, what to skip, and when to add a neuron, which is where the training-time savings come from.

        Beyond code

        The teaching, community work and interests that a one-page resume leaves out.

        Teaching and building communities

        Teaching is how I check I've actually understood something. Since 2020 I've run sections, workshops and clubs alongside coursework and work.

        Stanford Code in Place

        Section Leader, 2021

        One of 1,100 volunteers chosen worldwide to teach CS106A in Python. Led weekly sections from Karel the robot through control flow, decomposition, lists and dictionaries, and classes, and debugged students' code one-on-one.

        IEEE Computer Society, REC

        Co-founder

        Grew the chapter to 600+ members with hands-on technical workshops. It has since split into data science, machine learning and communications tracks.

        Google Developer Student Club

        Founding member and mentor

        Mentored three student teams whose builds placed in the top 100 of GDSC hackathon challenges.

        IntellexAI

        Founding president and mentor

        Ran hands-on workshops on generative AI, LLMs, machine learning and deep learning, from training a first classifier to prompting and evaluating LLMs.

        Research Club and FOSS Club

        Founding member

        Brought together 50 students who wanted to publish, and helped start the open-source club. With IntellexAI, GDSC and IEEE CS, these groups now have about 1,250 members.

        UiPhoria

        Automation mentor

        Mentored the RPA team building UiPath bots, and ran the club's events and outreach.

        College software core team

        Developer

        Rebuilt the college website, the cultural-fest pages and the admin system: attendance, on-duty requests, results, course registration and placements. Two of my papers came out of this work.

        Knowledge transfer at BNY

        Session lead, 2024 to 2025

        Taught colleagues AI and ML fundamentals, generative AI and LLMs, deep learning, probability and statistics for ML, and privacy, ethics and responsible AI.

        Also: CSE branch prefect on the student council from 2020 to 2024, and a mentor for first-year CSE students.

        Off the keyboard

        Carnatic music

        My oldest habit. Most Carnatic compositions sit on Adi talam, an 8-beat cycle you keep with your hand: a clap and three finger counts, then clap-wave twice.

        1. Clap1
        2. Little2
        3. Ring3
        4. Middle4
        5. Clap5
        6. Wave6
        7. Clap7
        8. Wave8

        Guitar

        Trinity College London Grade 6 in plectrum guitar. Western rhythm after years of tala keeps both kinds of timing honest.

        Cinema

        I watch films for how they're built as much as for the story, and I'll argue about an ending longer than the film ran.

        Philosophy

        Questions about mind, ethics and what it means to understand something. They became practical once I started working on AI.

        Code and caffeine

        Consumed in roughly equal measure. Hackathons, coding contests and late builds have been a constant since my first year.

        Leading at school

        Best Student Award for leadership and academics at St. John's Senior Secondary School and The Hindu School, long before any club presidencies.

        Curious by default, always mid-build, and powered by code and caffeine in equal measure.
