Engineering and AI @ Teradata | Ex-Microsoft | UG’22 @ IIIT-H

About

I am curious about the possibilities of AI and enjoy exploring Microsoft Copilots from both technological and product perspectives. I have hosted sessions on LLMs, GitHub Copilot, and Microsoft Copilots within my organization. I aim to grow across Research, Engineering, Product and People Management and seek opportunities to support this journey.
