Work Experience

Research Assistant at Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany
March 31, 2025 - August 1, 2025
Leveraged GNPy's Python API to develop a modular simulation system for Free Space Optical (FSO) satellite networks; applied Dijkstra and constraint-based algorithms to compute optimal routes under Gaussian noise constraints. Formulated the overall system design by structuring core components—modulation, transmission, noise modeling, and routing optimal communication paths.
Software Intern at Intiot Services Private Limited
June 30, 2024 - August 1, 2025
Deployed deep learning models on AWS, optimizing scalable cloud operations, and developed microservices with Flask, integrating MySQL for seamless data flow. Preprocessed real-time weather data via Open Weather Map API, integrating with LSTM models built in TensorFlow and PyTorch; predicted landslides 60 minutes in advance, enhancing disaster response and potentially saving lives.
Research Intern at School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE), IIT Mandi
June 30, 2024 - August 1, 2025
Initiated the development of a deep learning system for traffic violation detection using annotated surveillance video, employing Vision Transformers (ViT) for spatial event localization and BERT for generating contextual, human-readable explanations. Curated a dataset of 1250+ videos through detailed annotation in CVAT, enabling multimodal model training and fine-tuning; implemented temporal flow logic to support transformer attention over sequential frames.
Data Scientist at Athos Systems Pvt Ltd
