I am a passionate researcher, software developer, and an open source enthusiast with a love for solving real-world problems through technology. I am the CEO and Research Founder of DokkuAI, a startup I founded that focuses on creating an open-source document management workspace.

Previously, I was a Research Fellow at Moon Lab, IISER Bhopal, working with Prof. P.B. Sujit. Prior to this, I worked as a Research Assistant and Visiting Researcher at the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University of New Brunswick Canada, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel J. Rea. At the same time, I also worked as a Research Assistant at the Robotics Research Center, IIIT Hyderabad, under the supervision of Prof. Madhava Krishna, Prof. Harikumar Kandath, and Prof. Ravi Kiran Sarvadevabhatla. I completed my undergraduate studies at UPES, Dehradun, where I also worked as an undergraduate researcher at the Robotics Lab, collaborating closely with Prof. Ashish Karn. Prior to that, I worked as a Research Intern at the Networks Research Lab, IIIT-D, under the supervision of Prof. Arani Bhattacharya.

In addition to pursuing my academic interests, I have a deep passion for open-source projects. I have served as an Open Source Research Strategist, Community Manager, Researcher, Developer, and Organization Administrator for multiple open-source organizations. My experience also includes roles as an Organization Administrator for Google Summer of Code, Google Code-In, Google Season of Docs, and the Linux Foundation Mentorship Program, as further detailed in the "Open Source" section. My involvement in open-source initiatives has been substantial, with extensive contributions to various projects. Notably, I have been recognized by Google Open Source, earning the prestigious Google Open Source Peer Bonus award for my significant contributions.

I am seeking MS/PhD positions for Fall 2025, as well as full-time or part-time job opportunities. If you have any open positions, please take a look at my CV. If you believe my profile aligns with your vacancy, please do reach out!
