Work experience

AI Research Intern at Airawat Research Foundation, Jun 2025 - Aug 2025 · 3 mos, New Delhi, Delhi, India, Built a production-grade policy retrieval system using FAISS-based semantic search over 500+ government documents, cutting query resolution time by 60%. Optimized chunking strategies and embedding pipelines to push retrieval Recall@5 to 0.71 — a 34% improvement over the BM25 baseline. Deployed an end-to-end CLI interface with top-k retrieval and relevance scoring, delivering actionable policy insights in under 3 seconds.

Economics Research Intern at Maritime Research Center, Jun 2025 - Aug 2025 · 3 mos, Remote, Investigated the economic impact of climate risk on coastal communities using causal inference methods and UDA-augmented EDA on structured datasets. Applied SHAP and ALE interpretability techniques to quantify how weather shocks drive income variance — explaining up to 40% of variation across three export sectors. Identified five high-risk coastal hotspots projected to face 15–20% income losses, with findings contributing directly to a policy brief for key stakeholders.
