I am a Robotics Padawan (a.k.a. PhD candidate) under Jedi master Frank Dellaert at the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. I am affiliated with the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines and the Machine Learning Center. My areas of research are Robotics and Intelligent Autonomy. While my primary focus is on state estimation, I work on multiple areas of robotics such as Human Robot Interaction, Optimal and Learning based Control, and Perception. Along with being a researcher, I take great pride in developing useable and reliable systems that put our work into practice.

I received my Masters degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech where my thesis was on Visual Attribute Labeling. I was advised by Dr. James Hays and collaborated with the incredible Dr. Genevieve Patterson. Other projects of mine included enabling robots to track industrial parts in real time, industrial robot drivers to make working with them easier, and building online tools to enable and help student teaming.
For my efforts, I received the 2017 Marshall D. Williamson Fellowship for outstanding 2nd year MSCS student at Georgia Tech.
I completed my Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering from NIT Surat where I was president of the ACM Chapter, growing the club to over 200 student members, and co-Chief Editor of the college newsletter Renesa with the uber talented pair of Kailasham Ramalingam and Swethan Jasty.

Professionally, I have spent time at Skydio, and the IHMC Robotics lab, as well as a previous stint at Microsoft Corp's Hyderabad office, where I contributed to the Bing search engine and Enterprise Volume Licensing pipeline.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, basketball, music, and hacking. Do check out my blog for my latest musings, where I try to elucidate some non-trivial science and tech into regular tea-time reading.
