About

I work at the point where research code has to become something a surgeon can rely on. At IIT Madras' Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre I build the GPU morphing stack for imageless total knee arthroplasty — reconstructing a patient's femur and tibia from points swept with a probe in theatre, instead of from a CT taken days earlier. The reconstruction has to land inside half a millimetre and finish inside a single surgical frame.

Most of what I've learned came from replacing something that already worked. The bone-synthesis pipeline I inherited ran on a thin-plate-spline formulation from 1989. It hit its landmarks and shrank the bone by two thirds. Rebuilding it around Bayesian Coherent Point Drift meant reading the 1989 paper closely enough to understand why it was written that way, and then writing 89 tests — including one that checks the output is byte-identical run to run — because in a surgical pipeline reproducibility is a safety property, not a nicety.

Before the research work I spent a year shipping applied ML: spam classifiers, price regressors, housing pipelines — always taken past the notebook and served behind a real API, because a model nobody can call is a model nobody uses. That habit is the throughline. I like the part of the job where a result becomes a thing that runs.

Outside the lab I'm a Google Developer Group member, a SHEfi Scholar, and an open-source contributor through GSSoC. I'm currently open to software and ML engineering roles.

    Current

    Project Associate

    IITM HTIC MedTech Incubator, IIT Madras — Chennai

    • Own the GPU morphing stack behind an imageless total knee arthroplasty navigation system — neural signed distance fields, Gaussian RBF field-space warping, and a Holoscan operator graph that has to close the loop inside a single surgical frame.
    • Moved bone synthesis off a 1989 thin-plate-spline formulation and onto Bayesian Coherent Point Drift, shipped as drop-in replacement executables so the surgical software adopted it without a single call-site change.
    • Hold numerical work to a test suite rather than a demo: 89 tests including byte-identical determinism runs, validated against roughly 20,000 technician-swept surface points.

    Project Intern

    IITM HTIC MedTech Incubator, IIT Madras — Chennai

    • Prototyped and benchmarked the real-time bone morphing algorithms that became the team's MICCAI 2026 workshop submission.
    • Built the Holoscan SDK operator graph for GPU scheduling, keeping the intraoperative path free of host round-trips.

    • PyTorch
    • Benchmarking

    Data Science Intern

    Oasis Infobyte — Remote

    • Shipped three end-to-end ML projects — spam classification, price regression, and a housing pipeline — each one taken past the notebook and served behind a REST API.
    • Treated reproducibility as the deliverable: every submission documented, re-runnable, and under version control.

    • FastAPI

  4. Mar 2025 — Apr 2025

    Data Science Intern

    EliteTech Intern — Remote

    • Built ML and analysis pipelines against messy real-world datasets in pandas and scikit-learn.
    • Wrote results up so the reasoning survived without me in the room.
    • pandas
    • scikit-learn

  5. Jul 2025 — Jul 2025

    Digital Marketing Intern

    WeDidIT — Bengaluru

    A deliberate month outside engineering — I wanted to understand the half of the job that decides whether good technical work ever gets used.

    • Ran campaigns across Instagram and LinkedIn and instrumented them in Google Analytics and Meta Business Suite.
    • Learned funnels, cohorts, and attribution from the operator's side — the same shape of thinking that later made model evaluation and A/B methodology feel like familiar ground rather than new theory.
    • Google Analytics
    • Meta Business Suite

  6. Oct 2024 — Apr 2025

    Student Intern

    Prodigy InfoTech — Remote

    • Seven months of structured build work across Python and JavaScript — the repetitions that turned data structures and Git from coursework into muscle memory.
