I am currently a Machine Learning Engineer in IBM Watsonx Assistant working on expressive neural voices for our Text to Speech service. You can check out some of the voices I helped build here.
Previously, I worked on the IBM Watsonx Orders (formerly McD Tech Labs) project, building a voice-based conversational agent for McDonald's drive-thrus in Mountain View, CA. I earned my Masters in Computer Science from Virginia
Tech , where I wrote a thesis on Linguistically Differentiating Acts and Recalls of Racial Microaggressions. I was a part of Dr. Eugenia H. Rho's SAIL Research Lab. I was also a member of
the Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI) at VT. I received my
Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering in 2021 at Bennett University, India.
Jul 2025 Excited to share that our paper CounterQuill—a human-AI collaborative counterspeech writing system—has been accepted to IEEE VL/HCC 2025!
Nov 2024 Checkout our latest work on building real-time, edge-efficient multi-intent translation systems for drive-thru ordering at IBM Watsonx Orders, now available as an arXiv preprint!
