I am a roboticist at Tesla Optimus team.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Graphics, and Robotics. My long-term goal is to build intelligent agents that can see (through vision, audio, and other senses), interact (navigate and act in an environment), and reason (plan long-term actions from sparse rewards).

I got my Ph.D in Artificial Intelligence at University of Maryland College Park. I also interned at Google, NVIDIA, and Amazon AI Labs. Before starting my Ph. D., I spent 5 years prototyping and scaling Vision and ML products in both industry (Netradyne, American Express), and academia (NICTA, ITRI, Carnegie Mellon, IIT Delhi). I also co-founded a startup helping users design their wardrobes by “learning” a fashion knowledge graph from social network data.

Blog

Yet Another Machine Learning blog written with an intention of

  • learning more by coding and writing. I strongly believe that the best way to learn a concept is to either code it myself or write a tutorial about it. This helps in both understanding various nuances associated with the concept as well as retain the concept for a longer time.
  • keeping notes of various lectures/articles/papers/books/ideas I (have) come across.

Check out the blog page for more.

Lernen durch Codierung

is german for Learning by Coding. It’s a play on Learning by Teaching, a strategy for students to learn by teaching their peers popular in Germany.

Disclaimer

Contents of this blog are inference of a biological neural network, trained over a very tiny dataset for a very long time. Any statistically significant correlation to existing literature is not coincidental but an outcome of overfitting.

Website

Finally moving from old page to Jekyll, hoping to do some justice to the new website cum blog. Promising myself to be more regular and more meticulous.
