Primarily, my research interests are centered on deep learning and sequential data analysis. I am particularly interested in content based analysis where intelligent processes understand the inputs and produce a description in terms of constituent objects. Here are some of the places I've worked at in the past:
Founder & CEO - Plutoshift (2017 - Present)
Plutoshift empowers teams with automated performance monitoring for any industrial process. Our solution is built for verticals such as Food & Beverage, Oil & Gas, Power & Renewables, and Chemicals. We leverage Artificial Intelligence to automate pieces of work for the frontline team.
Computer Vision Developer - Stealth Mode Startup (2014 - 2016)
I worked on research and development of computer vision algorithms centered on object recognition.
Computer Vision Developer - MeCommerce, San Francisco (Dec 2012 - July 2014)
I worked on research and development of 3D computer vision algorithms. My focus was on developing algorithms to extract the 3D information about the human body from 2D photos.
Mobile Computer Vision - Nvidia, Santa Clara (June 2011 - Dec 2012)
I worked on research and development of computer vision for mobile phones and tablets based upon Nvidia Tegra processors.
Internship - Nvidia, Santa Clara - Spring 2011 (Jan 2011 - May 2011)
I worked on developing advanced computer vision applications for mobile phones and tablets based upon NVIDIA Tegra processors. More specifically, I worked on vision based augmented reality for NVIDIA Tegra tablet running Android OS.
During my Masters - University of Southern California (Aug 2009 - Dec 2010)
I graduated with a GPA of 4.0. I worked on various Artificial Intelligence projects like object recognition, image compression, video compression, emotion detection, and human behavior modeling.
Internship - Qualcomm, San Diego - Summer 2010
I worked on Video Content Analysis for the MediaFLO team in Qualcomm. MediaFLO is a technology to transmit video and data to portable devices such as mobile phones and personal televisions, used for mobile television. My work included developing an algorithm for analyzing the contents of MediaFLO video and calculating the rendered frame rate of the video decoder. I also worked on a fast algorithm to detect 'cut' scene changes in the MediaFLO video.
Internship - Microsoft Research, Bangalore, India - Summer 2008
I was selected for a research internship at Microsoft Research (Bangalore, India) under Dr. Amitav Das. The selection was based on my sixth semester Digital Signal Processing (DSP) project executed under his guidance. The aim of the project was to develop a real time isolated word recognizer. During the internship, I worked on various signal processing and classification methods which were applied to problems in knowledge-based speech recognition and user-identification using face image and spoken password. Proprietary algorithms were developed in Matlab.
Collaboration - Microsoft Research, Bangalore, India - Aug-Dec, 2008
I continued to work under Dr. Amitav Das of Microsoft Research, India, from my college. I worked on topics that were a part of the internship. Improvements were done on some existing algorithms. I was also involved in collecting a customized database for mobile-phone based speaker recognition.
Research Assistant - Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India - Summer 2007
I worked as a research assistant under Prof. Narasimha Rao and Dr. S. Ramgopal. I developed real time embedded systems using Atmel 89S52 microcontroller. Also developed a line following robot. The work included developing the embedded systems and coding them in C. GUIs for the embedded systems were built in Visual C# for real time communication with the computer.
