Building AI Systems for Modern Finance | Ex Myntra, Target, Philips Research | IISc | Intelligent Systems

About

My work has moved across research, engineering, and production ML - beginning with my Master’s at IISc, followed by Philips Healthcare Research, and evolving into building real-world intelligence systems at Target and Myntra that serve millions. I’ve led computer vision R&D, contributed to patents and publications, and built recommendation, forecasting, ranking, and optimization pipelines that influenced large-scale business decisions. Across these roles, I learned how to bring structure to complexity, engineer for resilience, and take ideas from concept to dependable, scalable systems. In my current role as a founding AI/ML lead, I define the technical direction of our financial intelligence platform - architecting core systems, designing agentic and ML capabilities, and guiding a small, exceptional team toward our mission. At its core, the work is about alignment: bringing people, technology, and intent together to build the intelligence layer that enables financial institutions to operate with clarity and confidence.
