About

I'm a software engineer working across computer vision and deep learning. My current work is in applied CV, where I train detection, classification and pose models and build the real-time inference pipelines that run them in production on DeepStream. Beyond vision, I have experience in backend and web development, and I'm comfortable working with C, C++ and Python. I value ownership and technical depth. I enjoy coding and algorithms, and I like understanding how systems work at a level below the one I'm working in.

Work experience

Software Engineer at Avathon, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos, Bengaluru, • Trained and iterated CNN and transformer-based detectors (YOLOv5, DEIM, DEIMv2) for PPE compliance and person/vehicle detection across multiple customer deployments • Built an EfficientNet-B0 classifier that replaced a pallet-only detector so encroachment alerts catch obstructions of any type, and added ROI-masking logic to suppress recurring false alarms • Designed a multi-task EfficientNet-B0 + FPN model for joint detection and segmentation, and applied the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis to prune 50% of weights while retaining ~98% of full-model accuracy • Benchmarked detector architectures (RF-DETR, RTDETR, YOLOX, YOLO-NAS, PP-YOLOE) on FPS, VRAM and accuracy for DeepStream 6.2/8, and wrote a custom RF-DETR parser for DeepStream 6.2 • Implemented DeepStream use-case logic for near-miss and encroachment to enable real-time inference and alerting • Built a YOLOv7 pose-estimation pipeline for unsafe-lifting detection, including the use-case algorithm and UI field template • Migrated authentication from hardcoded session tokens to OAuth2/JWT with client-credentials grant across six-plus repositories

Software Engineer Intern at Jaguar Land Rover India, May 2024 - Jul 2024 · 3 mos, Bengaluru, • Built a full-stack web app in React + Vite and Django REST Framework to track and manage candidate profiles for the Coderace recruitment portal, with JWT authentication and Mailtrap SDK for automated email notifications • Implemented filtering, candidate tracking and application statistics to replace manual steps in the HR workflow • Built a web app to view, start and stop EC2 instances using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, removing the need for console access
