Solo
An autonomous unmanned ground vehicle built with Project Manas for the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) at Oakland University. Helped win IGVC 2019 and several other awards.
Chaitanya
Software engineer building Agents, Evals and Harnesses @ Microsoft · Grand Award winner @ ISEF 2017
I build agentic AI systems — currently shipping multi-agent orchestration and eval frameworks for Microsoft 365. Before that, end-to-end ML at an early-stage startup, across time-series forecasting, LiDAR segmentation, and computer vision. My core expertise spans LLM orchestration, RAG, prompting & evaluation, and distributed systems — data pipelines, event processing, observability.

SAMIS
A smartphone-based vein-imaging system that uses visible-spectrum image processing to visualize subcutaneous veins without IR hardware, aimed at making IV access easier for nurses. Won Second Place Grand Award in Biomedical Engineering at Intel ISEF 2017 and the Grand Award at IRIS 2016.
Magniwear
An AR/VR microscope on the Google Cardboard platform, operated hands-free by voice while exploring biological samples, doubling as a dental loupe and a live-streaming tool for remote guidance. Selected top 90 globally, Google Science Fair 2015.
ProxyTalk
A real-time voice-agent platform: a streaming ASR → LLM → TTS pipeline over SIP/WebSocket with VAD, turn-taking, and barge-in, built on the OpenAI APIs. Sub-1,000ms p95 end-to-end latency.
