I’m a Research Engineer at Borealis AI Montreal working on foundation models and LLMs for finance. I have 6+ years of full-time work experience in applied AI.
Previously, I was a Research Engineer at Samsung AI Center Toronto working with Dr. Alex Levinshtein and Prof. Allan Jepson on computer vision, specifically, burst photography, neural implicit models, image enhancement and synthesis.
Earlier, I was a Software Engineer developing behavior-based malware classifiers using machine learning for Norton AntiVirus at Symantec Corporation in Pune, India.
I’m currently interested in fundamental research on the generalization, calibration and robustness of deep neural networks, and applied AI for healthcare and medicine.
