I'm a second-year Master's student in Robotic Systems Development (MRSD) at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Robotics and Deep Learning. Previously, I was at Addverb for 2.5 years, where I engineered autonomous navigation systems, physics-based simulators, and multi-robot applications. I also interned at Google on the Nest Devices team, automating cloud infrastructure pipelines.
I'm passionate about building intelligent systems that perceive, reason, and act in complex, dynamic environments. My focus is on Deep Learning, and I am currently working with 3D Vision and Vision-Language Agents (VLAs). I'm especially interested in tackling complex, long-horizon planning problems, with applications for robotics and the broader AI landscape.
Aug 2025Completed my summer internship at Nissan Advanced Technology Center in the Bay Area, focusing on Humanoid Robotics and fine-tuning robotic foundation models. 🌁
Focus:
• Developing autonomous manipulation and locomotion capabilities for the Unitree G1 humanoid robot to solve tote logistics challenges in Nissan manufacturing facilities.
Key Contributions:
• VSLAM Development: Built complete Visual SLAM system for quadruped robots using C++ and OpenCV
• Simulator Engineering: Developed robotics simulator with OpenGL and NVIDIA PhysX, integrated haptic feedback
• Multi-Robot Applications: Created GUI for 3 robotic systems (Cobot, Exoskeleton, Haptic device) using ImGui
Key Achievement:
• Infrastructure Automation: Automated backend cloud pipeline, reducing 4-month task by 4-5 engineers to a single Bash script
• Onboarding System: Built end-to-end infrastructure generating 1,000+ lines of code across 150 files using Python, JSON, Go, Bash
Built an autonomy system that fuses 6D pose estimation (NVIDIA FoundationPose) with motion-capture localization for precise perception and navigation. This allowed the Unitree G1 to autonomously manipulate totes and operate effectively in real-world factory workflows.
Led benchmarking of self-correction in LLMs, evaluating performance across Llama 3.2 1B, Llama 3.1 8B, and Mathstral 7B on MATH dataset. Achieved accuracy rates of up to 41.8%, identifying high Correct-to-Incorrect rates (46.9%) and low Incorrect-to-Correct rate improvements (3.78%). Engineered a multi-turn reinforcement learning framework (SCoRe) for fine-tuning.
Re-implemented the LIPINC-V2 Vision Temporal Transformer, a SOTA architecture for detecting deepfakes by analyzing spatio-temporal video. I first validated my from-scratch model by reproducing the paper's 0.98 AP results on the LipSyncTIMIT benchmark. To expand the project, I then engineered a custom data generation pipeline, creating a new 2,300-sample dataset. On this new dataset, I established a strong CNN-LSTM baseline model, achieving 94.9% accuracy.
Developed an onset detection technique to isolate the Percussion Solo section in concert audio, applying clustering algorithms (K-means, DBSCAN) using audio processing libraries.
