Dec 2024 – now

Founding AI Engineer at Observo AI, now part of SentinelOne. I led the 0→1 build of Observo’s AI stack, mentoring a team of 5 across AI, backend, frontend and DevOps, and worked with sales and marketing to drive 1M+ ARR.

I built low-latency PII and log-schema detection, fine-tuned LLMs for log intelligence (CIM/OCSF ingestion, anomaly detection, summarization, Grok detection), and Orion, an agentic chat-copilot for security researchers that enterprise customers adopted.

2021 – 2024

Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead on the Content Abuse AI team at LinkedIn. We built multi-modal defenses that prevent 5M+ spam views a week: fine-tuned multi-modal models, agentic frameworks and in-house pre-training for domain adaptation, over datasets of 10M+.

Highlights: a multilingual end-to-end OCR stack served through Samza and Kafka, video classifiers for spam, and Flash, an in-house framework for scalable LLM training and deployment. I mentored 5+ engineers.

2018 – 2021

Senior Research Engineer in the Augmented Reality team at Samsung Research Institute Bangalore. I built on-device AR/VR for premium camera apps, covering semantic segmentation, multi-modal detection and tracking, scene understanding and multi-view 3D reconstruction, all running on Android.

Projects include Quick Measure, AR Doodle, camera-based human height measurement and single-shot 3D reconstruction, which helped shape the early AR stack on the Galaxy S and Note series.
