About Me

I train models to learn & they teach me patience.

I am a computer science engineering student working on machine learning, NLP, and applied AI systems. I run Aryy & Co, a tech agency helping early-stage teams build and ship products. I create tech content at @aryy.in_. I craft effective prompts, build clean frontends, and work comfortably across backend systems.

Beyond work, I make food edits at @nomnomsss_.

Work Experience

SfedU

AI Engineer

Sylus AI • (remote)

Developing and maintaining AI systems for a SaaS-based social media automation platform, Sylus AI. Building and integrating APIs, managing databases, and contributing to system architecture. Developing AI-driven features, while debugging, testing, and optimizing applications in collaboration with the team.

April 2026 - Present

SfedU

SDE Intern

Southern Federal University, ICTIS • Russia (remote)

Developed a web application as an international interdisciplinary project in collaboration with Southern Federal University (ICTIS) & MUJ to support the adaptation of international students. The platform acts as a digital assistant that helps to explore, understand and navigate the campus facilities and improves accessibility for new international students.

Oct - Nov 2025

Elumina Street Solutions

AI R&D Intern

Elumina Street Solutions • Jaipur

Developed a violence detection model using CNN (MobileNet) and LSTM in TensorFlow for video-based behavior recognition; improved accuracy with focal loss and class weighting. Implemented and evaluated a real-time weapon detection system using YOLOv8 and OpenCV. Collaborated with the AI research team to analyze model performance, optimize hyperparameters, and enhance detection.

April - July 2025

AI² Lab

Research Intern

AI²: computAtional linguIstics & vIsion Lab • MUJ

Leading two concurrent research workstreams: (1) SafeAlign — a multi-arm experimental pipeline for LLM safety evaluation using taxonomy-guided data curation on the Anthropic HH-RLHF dataset, training a RoBERTa-based reward model (Arm A), a QLoRA+DPO-aligned Qwen2.5-1.5B generative model (Arm B), and a MiniLM contrastive safety encoder (Arm C). Key finding: a 66M DistilBERT classifier trained on taxonomy-filtered data achieves 81.3% accuracy vs 59.5% on raw data — showing label quality outweighs model scale. ,(2) Quantifying the Alignment Tax — empirically measuring how SFT and DPO degrade LLM creativity using DAT, AUT, and TTCT benchmarks with Semantic Entropy metrics across Mistral-7B and Llama-3.1-8B.
