About Me

I am a Machine Learning Engineer at Netflix, where I architect post-training infrastructure for Generative AI. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Northeastern University under the supervision of Professor Devesh Tiwari. My expertise lies at the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI, with a specialized focus on building robust post-training frameworks and driving performance optimizations for large-scale models.
