About me

I'm an Engineering Manager at Tower Research Capital. I was honoured as the #1 first author worldwide to have the largest number of top AI/ML/NLP papers in 2021, and have been a speaker at 50+ events. I'm also a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology, MBZUAI, AI Institute at the University of Southern Carolina, and the University of Marburg. Having mentored over 500 students and career professionals in publishing research papers, starting industrial careers and more, I am passionate about helping others with their career. Building on my industry and academic experience my research interests are broadly focused on Natural Language Processing, Computational Social Science and Quantitative Finance. My work in these areas has been presented and awarded at several top-tier NLP and AI conferences including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AAAI, IJCAI, UAI, WSDM, WWW, ACM Multimedia, Interspeech, ICWSM, EACL, COLING, ICASSP and more. My experience lies in Distributed Systems, Quantitative Analytics, and AI (NLP, Recsys, GNNs, sequence/temporal models). I've also fast-tracked to leadership positions early in my career. My leadership scope has focused on: i) Stakeholder and OKR management, ii) Component ownership and team management, iii) Technical design, iv) Onboarding, mentoring, hiring and interviewing new and experienced hires. I graduated at the top of my class from NSIT, India in Bachelors of Computer Engineering in 2018, and have had the privilege of learning from my experiences and mentors at Tower Research, Samsung Research, IBM Research, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas, Dallas, MIDAS IIIT-Delhi, Siemens, Anita B.Org, and The Linux Foundation.
