About Me

I am a Senior Staff Applied Scientist at Typeface, where I lead research and development in LLM personalization, model adaptation, post-training, and evaluation, translating novel ML methods into high-impact production systems. Previously, I worked at Amazon and Adobe Research, developing machine learning solutions for personalization, search, and recommendation systems.

I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I was advised by Prof. Sanmi Koyejo. Prior to that, I earned an integrated master’s degree in Mathematics and Scientific Computing from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.

My research interests lie in statistical machine learning, particularly learning from human feedback, reward and evaluation design, black-box optimization, LLM personalization, and post-training. I am interested in developing learning algorithms that improve model behavior, adaptability, and reliability.
