Work Experience

Research Automated LLM Agentic Framework for CUDA Engineering at New York University
August 1, 2025 - December 1, 2025
Engineered a multi-agent LLM framework to automate high-performance C++/CUDA code generation using strategic tree search and hardware profiling with NVIDIA Nsight Compute. Achieved 95% correctness and 1.28x average speedup on KernelBench, surpassing state-of-the-art baselines.
Enhancing Spatial Reasoning in Vision-LLMs at New York University
January 1, 2025 - May 1, 2025
Developed conversational chain-of-thought and structured prompt pipelines to improve spatial reasoning in multimodal VLMs by ~8–24% on spatial reasoning benchmarks. Implemented reinforcement learning formulations, improving Pass@1 accuracy by up to 23% on some tasks.
AI Software Engineer (R&D) at The Main Branch
January 1, 2024 - August 1, 2025
Engineered end-to-end computer-vision recognition and tracking system for cattle management using CCTV, achieving 82.7% MOTA and 0.65 ARI by distilling SAM-2 into FastSAM and optimizing CNNs for ~6,000% faster training and real-time visual search. Expanded pipeline to include disease prediction, weight estimation using LiDAR/depth maps, action recognition, and feed/hydration analytics. Built scalable ML infrastructure with vector search and time-series partitioning to manage 100M+ measurements with SQL-aggregated stakeholder dashboards. Performed low-level NVIDIA Jetson/CUDA optimizations (custom kernels, pruning/quantization, TensorRT) for major speedups and faster inference. Led mentoring of interns, synthetic data generation, model adaptation, and CVAT/Roboflow annotation workflows. Delivered an OCR system with 98.3% accuracy integrating LLM/NLP for multimodal summarization.
ML & Software Engineering (Independent Contractor) at Office of State Minister, Ahmedabad
February 1, 2023 - August 31, 2023
Built AI models using CCTV footage for law enforcement, traffic flow, and license plate recognition. Developed tracking for traffic violations including seatbelt usage, phone usage, and red-light running to support automatic fining workflows.
ML & Software Engineering (Independent Contractor) at Office of State Minister
February 1, 2023 - August 1, 2023
Built AI models on CCTV footage for law enforcement, traffic flow, and license plate recognition. Developed a tracking system for traffic violations including seatbelt usage, phone usage, and running red lights to support automatic fining workflows.
Undergraduate Thesis – Global License Plate Dataset at Ahmedabad University
