About me

Hello! I'm a software engineer on the Perception R&D team at PlusAI in the South Bay Area, California. I focus on the design and implementation of perception modules — specifically lane detection and tracking — for the software-based autonomy that powers their SuperDrive deliverables.

Prior to this, I was part of the Object Fusion team at Aptiv, a vital component of their Active Safety product. I earned my Ph.D. and master’s in the FD&C/HSL at Purdue University, and my bachelor’s at IIT Kharagpur. Throughout all my degrees I majored in aerospace/aeronautical engineering, with a focus on state estimation, control theory, and applied machine learning.

• Work Experience Lane perception at PlusAI and multi-sensor object fusion at Aptiv.
• Research Distributed estimation and data-driven anomaly detection.
• Publications Peer-reviewed journal and conference papers.

Beyond work

During my leisure hours, I play amateur tennis, basketball, badminton, and squash. When the pandemic curbed those, a few friends and I picked up a newfound interest in board games and tabletop RPGs — a slippery slope of buying ever more complex games (just got Food Chain Magnate!), and a never-ending race between buying new games and actually playing them all; the list of games I own and have played can be found here. I’m the DM for several D&D campaigns, wield the powers of a chaotic Paladin in one (smite!) and a charming Swords Bard in BG3 (lute!). I also try to play some guitar and bass, and enjoy listening to prog.
