Experience

Data Science (DS) Intern

February 2026 - April 2026

HiLabs | Pune, India (Remote)

  • Benchmarked various Azure Document Intelligence (DI) models on 200+ scanned docs and integrated the selected model (prebuilt-layout) in an end-to-end agentic document processing pipeline.
  • Developed the "Summarize AI" agent to summarize KPI dashboards, reducing manual effort by 60% and delivering actionable insights from complex data.

AI Engineering Intern

December 2025 - January 2026

BoardClick.ai | Hong Kong SAR (Remote)

  • Implemented a poster layout engine by adapting a Vision-Language-SVG reasoning research paper, automating placement of product images, brand, price, and text, reducing manual design effort by ~90% and poster development costs by ~95%.
  • Researched multi-product poster generation, proposing a novel dual-image fusion strategy (primary + free product) used across 1,000+ generated posters.

Software Engineer Intern

May 2025 - July 2025

Larsen and Toubro Finance | Bangalore, India (On-site)

  • Built a keystroke-based authentication system using Random Forests, reaching a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0.005 and a False Rejection Rate (FRR) of 0.011, used by ~2,000 employees.
  • Implemented time-series preprocessing and applied Gaussian Mixture Modelling with Isolation Forests to detect anomalous user activity on the L&T website, achieving an F1-score of 0.87 on ~100k login sessions.

Software Development Co-op

May 2024 - July 2024

AlgoUniversity | Hyderabad (Remote)

  • Developed a Dockerized Online Judge, serving 200+ users with ~10s latency.
  • Refactored backend for concurrency, cutting DB latency by 20% and server costs by 25%.
  • Deployed microservices with AWS orchestration, boosting throughput by 30% and enabling scalability.

Projects

Deep Learning-based OCR Pipeline (Internship Project)

OpenCV, PP-OCRv5, PyTorch

  • Developed a custom text extraction pipeline for Indian ID documents using OpenCV by fine-tuning a PP-OCRv5 model (~90% accuracy).
  • Delivered structured JSON data for 5,000+ documents to enterprise endpoints.
  • Optimized OCR pipeline for CPU-only inference, cutting infrastructure costs by 40%.

Grammar Scoring Engine for Spoken Audios

DeBERTa-v3, Wave2Vec2, PyTorch

  • Developed a speech-based grammar scoring engine to predict scores (1-5) from 45-60s audio samples using MFCC, spectral, and prosodic features and text embeddings.
  • Fine-tuned DeBERTa-v3-large for regression over 409 training samples.
  • Achieved an RMSE of ~0.42 on validation set through regularized regression head and hyperparameter tuning.

Duplicate Question Classifier

Source Code

PyTorch, Word2Vec, BERT Fine-tuning

  • Built a custom PyTorch model with Word2Vec and prototyped BERT to identify semantically similar question pairs with 84% accuracy (0.82 F1).
  • Trained a Word2Vec-embedded neural network using Bayesian hyperparameter tuning, achieving 12% accuracy gain over baseline.
  • Preprocessed 400,000+ question pairs for training.

Achievements

1st Place — HiLabs AIQuest Hackathon 2025

Source Code
  • Engineered an NLP pipeline using spaCy NER, extracting 10+ healthcare provider attributes from unstructured roster emails with ~0.91 F1-score.
  • Performed TAT analysis, achieving sub-second processing for simple emails and 0.7-1.2s throughput on complex cases.
  • Implemented a batch processing mechanism, reducing average turnaround time by ~60% for high-volume workloads.
