Hi! Welcome to my corner of the web.

Currently, I study Computer Science at ETH Zürich.

Having enjoyed videogames and math for quite some time now, I find myself keenly interested in reinforcement learning and optmization in general. During my undergrad, I spent some time on software and ML models for making our custom-built quadcopters do stuff, which turned out to be quite fun. Naturally, this has led me to continue to work on learning-based control and RL for robots.

I am also interested in exploring learning algorithms for complex board games, though for now this just manifests as wishful thinking after every session of Brass or Dune.

Interests: optimization, reinforcement learning, autonomous systems.
Hobbies: reading, video/board games, language learning.

Chapter III

2023-Present

Zürich, Switzerland

ETH Zürich

Doing a Master's in Computer Science. Minors in information security, networking, computer graphics, and optimization. Also took a few robotics courses.

Worked on model-based RL for autonomous drone racing with UZH Robotics and Perception Group. Doing my Master Thesis on model-free RL for quadruped parkour at the Robotics Systems Lab.

Chapter II

2022-2023

Bengaluru, India

Microsoft (R&D) India

Worked as a Data and Applied Scientist with the Computational Advertising team. Shipped multilingual transformer models for query-adword matching across 50+ international markets.

Felt like going back to robotics, so I quit.

Chapter I

2018-2022

Kanpur, India

IIT Kanpur

Got a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (with a bunch of CS minors). I was an active member of the student Aerial Robotics team. We participated in and even won a few great competitions.

Probably spent more time with quadcopter software than the actual degree.
