Hi! Welcome to my corner of the web.
Currently, I study Computer Science at ETH Zürich.
When I was young I had a obsession fascination with videogames. I also liked math, and then I learnt optimization during my undergrad. In that time I was also learning to work with autonomous drones, which turned out to be quite fun. Naturally, this has led me to work on learning-based control and reinforcement learning for robots.
I am also interested in writing learning algorithms for complex board games, though for now this just manifests as fleeting thought experiments.
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. Did 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 I going back to robotics, so I quit.
Chapter I
2018-2022
Kanpur, India
IIT Kanpur
Got a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (with half my coursework in CS). 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.
