I build AI systems for a living and tinker with them for fun.

I lead AI evaluation work at Zomato. What started as a bunch of scripts I wrote to solve my own eval problems turned into Gavel — an internal platform I pitched to the VP, got approved, and now serves both AI teams and ops teams across the company. Before Zomato, I consulted with Google on KerasHub, integrating model families like Qwen and Mixtral into the framework, and worked with Weights & Biases.

I got into ML through open source. My first PR was a small fix to DeepMind’s Optax library — I didn’t really know what I was doing. That led to a Google Summer of Code with TensorFlow, where I ended up shipping GPT-NeoX and Llama 2 for KerasNLP, and eventually co-authoring a paper in JMLR. Somewhere along the way, Google made me a Developer Expert in Machine Learning.

After GSoC I gave talks in 11 cities across India. I still speak at conferences when I have something worth saying.

On weekends I build things — an agentic browser, a Claude Cowork alternative, a Figma plugin I made without ever having used Figma. Most of these don’t go anywhere. Some do. I’ve been writing about it in The Conductor, though lately I’m figuring out what comes next.
