two disciplines

systems · sound · curiosity

A little about me.

I like making complicated things feel useful—whether that means an AI system people can trust with real work, or a melody that sounds inevitable.

Now

I’m an Applied AI Engineer at Deriv, where my work revolves around multi-agent systems and agentic tools that do useful work beyond the demo. I joined as an intern in February 2025, graduated from BITS Pilani that year, and came on full-time in August.

I feel lucky to be building while the field is changing this quickly. Papers, experiments, and late-night demos tend to turn into a notes app full of ideas; the ones that make it out usually land on GitHub. Markets and finance remain a parallel rabbit hole.

Music

I installed FL Studio in 2013, got serious about production at university in 2021, and had already spent more than a decade around an electronic keyboard. That mix made sampling and melody feel closer to instinct than guesswork.

The beats have since crossed a million plays on YouTube, with a few hundred licensed through BeatStars and placements with upcoming artists I respect. It still feels slightly unreal.

Two inboxes, one person.

Work, AI, general ideas, or something musical—pick the lane that fits. Thoughtful notes are always welcome.
