Work Background
Head of AI Services
Convergery LabsHead of AI Services
Feb. 2026India, BengaluruAs Head of AI Services at Convergery Labs, I lead AI product development and client delivery for a frontier AI services company. My work spans the full arc from solution design to documentation to delivery — I have built an agentic contract redlining system for an enterprise client using Claude Sonnet, pgvector semantic search, and a FastAPI backend, and produced the complete pre-engineering documentation suite that preceded it. I also developed product narrative and technical content for Convergery's core offerings, conducted client discovery and demos, and contributed to internal tooling and process infrastructure including meeting frameworks, work item taxonomies, and project playbooks.
Conservationist
WWF-IndiaConservationist
Sep. 2024 - May. 2025India, TezpurAt WWF-India I conducted conservation fieldwork across two of India's most ecologically significant regions — Tezpur in Assam and the Sundarbans delta. I engaged with habitat monitoring and community conservation programs, and produced field science writing published as Tezpur Diaries on Substack, covering conservation work for a general audience. I also engaged government, NGO, and research institution stakeholders on program delivery and documentation.
Software Engineer
Club LockerSoftware Engineer
Oct. 2019 - Jun. 2024United States, PhiladelphiaAt ClubLocker (US Squash), I started in a hybrid technical support and customer-facing role — relaying bugs, onboarding clients, and serving as technical backup for the support team. I also contributed to US Squash tournament operations as a tournament director, managing on-the-ground logistics alongside technical systems. Over time I transitioned fully into software development, where I worked on a graph-based player rating algorithm that incorporated historical match data and network-wide player interactions. I built new platform features, led transitions to more scalable architectures, resolved data management inconsistencies, and contributed to product design decisions. I remained with the company as an independent contractor for three months after my full-time tenure ended.
PHD Candidate
Princeton UniversityPHD Candidate
Sep. 2014 - Oct. 2019United States, PrincetonAt Princeton's Levin Lab, one of the world's leading groups in theoretical ecology and complex systems, I completed an MS in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. My dissertation modeled the diffusion of conservation-relevant norms across social networks using mathematical network dynamics, drawing on spectral graph theory and complex systems literature. I conducted field research with a Bhil indigenous community in Parala, Maharashtra, studying how road connectivity to urban centers influenced the adoption of non-traditional norms. I also served concurrently as a Princeton Athletics Fellow, coaching the women's squash team throughout my graduate years.
Research Assistant
The University of ChicagoResearch Assistant
Dec. 2012 - Jun. 2014United States, ChicagoAt the University of Chicago's Freedman Lab, I worked as a research assistant studying the neural basis of decision-making. My primary responsibility was maintaining and extending MonkeyLogic, a MATLAB-based application used to conduct saccadic eye movement experiments — the lab's core experimental platform. Eye movement trajectories served as behavioral proxies for subject choices, making software reliability critical to data quality. I also wrote and maintained technical documentation for lab software and experimental protocols.
Mathematical Investigator of Life Sciences
AnswerMine GroupMathematical Investigator of Life Sciences
Jun. 2011 - Jun. 2012United States, EvanstonAt AnswerMine Group, a data mining consultancy outside Chicago, I worked as a data scientist on predictive modeling projects in healthcare and finance. I maintained a logistic regression model predicting US-wide residential mortgage foreclosure rates, and independently built a logistic regression model predicting hospital readmission risk from scratch — end-to-end from feature engineering to validation. I also contributed to a cross-disciplinary project to develop a unified health index aggregating clinical biometrics including BMI and blood pressure.
Research Assistant
University of Pennsylvania School of MedicineResearch Assistant
Aug. 2010 - Apr. 2011United States, PhiladelphiaAt the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, I worked as a research assistant and lab technician on a large-scale genomic study examining gene expression changes associated with autism and advanced paternal age. I performed clinical data mining on microarray datasets, contributed to pathway enrichment analysis, and assisted with cross-validation methodology. The work resulted in a co-authored publication in PLoS One in 2011, which has since accumulated 103 citations.
