About me

I'm a Computer Science graduate (B.Tech CSE, KIIT, 2026) working on NLP for low-resource Indian languages and on the software that puts it in people's hands. My research, mostly with RespAI Lab at KIIT, covers LLM and vision-language model fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), machine translation and human-validated synthetic data, with papers at EMNLP 2025, WMT 2026 and GlobalSouthML at ICML 2026. I also built NagaNLP and NagaTranslate for Naga languages, and my Flutter app GScholar has passed 100,000 downloads on Google Play.
