01 — About

Machines that see
in 3D.

I work across computer vision, machine learning and 3D vision — building systems that understand scenes from images and point clouds, and reason about what they see.

I'm a 5th-year B.Tech (Hons.) + M.S. by Research student in Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad, working as an undergraduate researcher at the Machine Learning Lab on open-vocabulary 3D scene understanding.

I like working across the stack — computer vision and machine learning, low-level systems, and sensor-driven hardware. From coursework to research, I enjoy taking an idea all the way to a working system, especially where perception meets the real world.
