Summary

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.

Experience

  1. Project AssociateIITM HTIC MedTech Incubator, IIT Madras

    Jun 2026Present

    • 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.
  2. Project InternIITM HTIC MedTech Incubator, IIT Madras

    Feb 2026Jun 2026

    • 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.
  3. Data Science InternOasis Infobyte

    Mar 2025Jul 2025

    • 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.
  4. Data Science InternEliteTech Intern

    Mar 2025Apr 2025

    • 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.
  5. Digital Marketing InternWeDidIT

    Jul 2025Jul 2025

    • 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.
  6. Student InternProdigy InfoTech

    Oct 2024Apr 2025

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