I write code that writes code. I am a Machine Learning researcher and an artist.
Research Associate - Google AI
Research Assistant - Machine learning Lab, IIIT-H
I'm an MS student at IIIT Hyderabad, where I work on improving Deep Learning Optimization and Reinforcement Learning with the help of Differential Privacy.
I'm a research scientist at OpenMined, where I work on building individual Differential Privacy for general-purpose infrastructure to protect scientific data under study. I also lead Differential Privacy R&D at OpenMined.
​
I'm fascinated by learning algorithms, representations, and capturing the meaning of everyday interactions. I enjoy working with abstract math and art. I love to spend my time painting, reading, and coding.
