WORK EXPERIENCE
JIYO BETI | Strategy and Product Intern July 2022 – May 2024
∗ Formulated a go-to-market strategy for Non-Profit Trust ”JIYO BETI:EK UNCHI UDAAN” worth INR 5L+ a year per
school that includes career counselling and scholarship to meritorious girl students.
∗ Identified 4 funding mechanism and 10+ grants for the trust to reach targeted government schools in Haryana and Gujrat
∗ Developed
. a targeted strategy to approach 50+ teachers and athletes assisting 30+ girl students .
∗ Optimized expenses by reducing material costs by 15% by selective advertisement and digital ad . Handled relationships
with state government and other partners across 2 states.
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA | ML Research Intern May 2024 – August 2024
∗ Researched 4+ optimization techniques including Mirror Descent Policy Optimization and Trust Region Policy
Optimization to propose a catastrophic forgetting resilient algorithm.
∗ Pre-Trained and Fine-Tuned the LLaMA-3b, Qwen and Mixtral8x7B Model on SQUAD v2 and QuAC Dataset to detect
Catastrophic Forgetting and Entity Alignment in RLHF .
DRDO | Summer Research Intern May 2023 – June 2023
∗ Led a project optimizing algorithm performance using NVIDIA JETSON GPU with 128 NVIDIA CUDA cores.
∗ Used CUDA 10.2 for GPU Compilation. For CPU execution, parallelism is done using pthreads and OpenMP.
∗ Applied 8 algorithms that include PPM Image generation, Fuzzy Clustering, Euler’s Angle and Bitonic Sort to analyze
the computational efficiency, memory boundness, and thread divergence of CPUs and GPUs.
∗ Attained a speed up of 8.4x for bitonic sort and 3.7x for Euler’s Angle.
PROJECTS
Shortest Path using Chromatic number | Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics February 2024
∗ Generated minimum l for an (n,m)-path L satisfying Xn,m (L) = 2n + m + ϵ (Chromatic number of Path).
∗ Tightened the upper bound for (0,2) and (0,3) to 5 . Generated shortest path for (0,4) which has 10 vertices .Generated
lower bound using Dijkstra’s and A* algorithm
Rainfall Pattern Analysis | Python, NetCDF, XGBoost, Scikit-learn April 2023
∗ Analyzed daily rainfall data spanning 120 years collected at 0.25x0.25 grid resolution (NetCDF data).
∗ Increased accuracy by 10% by applying Rolling Mean, Best Square Quadratic Fit and Chi-Square methods to remove
outlier data points in drought and cyclone scenarios.
∗ Achieved MSE of 21 and 27 by testing ML models Decision Tree and Boosted decision tree regression.Attained RMSE
score of 4.623 by testing Random Forest and 4.846 for XGB Regression.
RISC Simulator | JAVA, OOPs, Interlock Condition, RISC Fundamentals September 2023
∗ Developed a software model of a single cycle RISC processor with MIPS like instruction set with advanced features
including cache handling and interlocks.
∗ Implemented efficient pipeline event handling ,getting IPC of all bench mark programs between 0.024 and 0.025
maximizing performance in the simulated RISC environment.
