Work experience

Senior Software Engineer at Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore, May 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 1 mo, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, • Architected and productionized a real-time text tracking module for live video translation, improving throughput from 15 FPS to 30 FPS, and shipped in Bixby Vision on Galaxy S26. • Designed a homography-based tracking pipeline using LucasKanade features + perspective transforms, reducing latency from 9ms to sub-3ms per frame for real-time deployment. • Introduced a landmark-driven ROI decomposition algorithm to handle fragmented text regions, significantly improving tracking robustness in edge cases. • Built a functional OCR prototype in 1 week using Tesseract, validating the complete detection tracking rendering pipeline. • Developed a 120 FPS low-memory video stabilization POC for post-processing workflows. • Decoupled stabilization stack from hardware/OIS dependency and implemented lens motion compensation in software. • Created Python-based motion analysis tooling to visualize stabilization metrics, accelerating validation and debugging cycles. • Commercialized camera features across 6 Qualcomm chipsets including 5 flagship devices, driving large-scale production impact.

Software Engineer at Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore, Aug 2023 - May 2025 · 1 yr 10 mos, • Built a POC to generate long-exposure and panorama images from handheld videos of arbitrary duration, robust to camera shake and scene motion. • Designed a Fourier Transform + Kalman Filter-based viability detection pipeline to automatically select video segments for long-exposure/panaroma images. • Implemented object-aware motion blur using optical flow, weighted temporal accumulation, and hybrid blending (median, mean, alpha) to reduce ghosting in long-exposure photos. • Built a POC to recovered up to 57% field-of-view (FOV) lost during video stabilization by fusing ultra-wide and wide-lens video streams using affine warping and image registration. • Applied integral projection-based motion estimation, histogram matching to ensure consistency across image fusion. • Commercialized Hyperlapse, Video Stabilization, and Star Trail features across 4 Samsung chipset projects (2025-26).

SDE Intern at Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore, May 2022 - Jul 2022 · 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Worked on FRRouting which is an open source, high performing, IP routing suite.

Summer Intern at AlmaConnect, May 2020 - Jun 2020 · 2 mos, Delhi, India, 1) Analyzed business models of various companies with overlapping customer base. 2) Analyzed current feature as well as suggested new features for the web portal; keeping in mind different types of segmentation of customer base. 3) Collected and studied data from numerous online resources to enrich customer engagement.

Research Intern at Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, May 2019 - Jun 2019 · 2 mos, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, 1) Undertook a critical review of a research study on the feasibility of implementation of thermal energy storage for the state of Telangana. 2) Completed preparing and analyzing the business plan for a social entrepreneurial venture. 3) Updated, compiled and documented information pertaining to a research study on Sustainable transportation for India
