🙏 வணக்கம், உலகம்! (Hello, World!) I'm a computer science professional with expertise in machine learning. I work at the Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi, with prior industrial experience at Microsoft Research and TCS Research and academic research experience at MBZUAI and IIT Madras.  I hold an MSc in Computer Vision from MBZUAI and a BTech in Information Technology from Anna University (TCE). Throughout my career, I have applied my machine learning skills to diverse areas, including language, vision, speech, and time series. 

I’ve been actively engaged in Generative AI, particularly with large language models, focusing on distributed fine-tuning for image understanding, while also contributing to data, pretraining, audio understanding, faster inference, and evaluation.

Notably, I've been part of successful teams that won the IEEE SLT 2022 international hackathon and 8 national-level hackathons in both the UAE (ADAFSA, GITEX & KIC) and India (TCS-IEC, TCS-DDS, IIT Madras, HCL & MHRD). My co-authored articles have been published as a US Patent, as well as in conferences such as the ACL / EMNLP Workshops, ICASSP, and IJCNN.
