I am actively seeking internship opportunities for Summer 2025. I am an experienced AI/ML Engineer and Researcher with proven track record in developing and deploying highly scalable production grade ML applications in Azure cloud and conducting cutting edge research using state-of-the-art models. I'm passionate about LLM applications, Retrieval Augmented Generation, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, and Robot Navigation.
Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s degree in Computer Science at Purdue University. My ongoing research is centered around developing Vision-Language Agents that assist users by perceiving and interacting with environments. This system will enable users to upload a set of instructions—for example, LEGO instructions—and interact with it by snapping a picture of their current progress. They can then ask the Vision Language Model for guidance on the next step. The system will analyze the uploaded instructions, assess the user’s current state, and provide actionable next steps to assist them accordingly.
