About

I am currently working as a Senior AI Researcher at LinkedIn, focusing on building personalized job comms. Previously, I gained valuable experience as a AI Researcher at Bloomberg AI where I built real-time pricing models for Fixed-Income securities. Before that, I worked as an Applied Scientist intern at Amazon within the Media and ADs team, utilizing various modalities to address challenges such as generating product headline suggestions and creating voiceover scripts for product videos. I completed my Masters degree from Carnegie Mellon University with AI-ML Concentration, where I concentrated my research on NLP, Multimodal ML, and Federated Learning. I possess a strong passion for conducting research in my field and, I am particularly interested in the applications of Deep Learning in areas such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Multimodal ML.
