Experience

1. AI Development Intern @ Lakshya Advance Tax Services

   Present

   Built AI-driven tools and automated backend workflows by integrating agentic systems. Held weekly technical meetings to discuss what workflows were modified so analysts could modify workflows with new agentic systems. Worked directly with the CEO to ensure client privacy was upheld with AI integration.

2. First Author and Researcher @ Indian Journal of Opthalmology

   2022 - 2024

   Built an image recognition AI model to assist ophthalmologists with diagnosing patients with glaucoma. Worked closely with glaucoma specialist for data, feedback, and consistent accuracy. Presented findings at state science conference and gathered feedback to further refine study and conclusions. Worked with peer review committee to refine research paper and publish in 2023 edition of PubMed-Indexed Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Achieved 81% accuracy on glaucoma classification from retinal fundus images using self-designed ResNet-50v2 CNNs. Recognized for outstanding research contributions and citations through Apprecitaion Certificate at Indian Journal of Ophthalmology Conference in Delhi.

3. Blogger @ StemToGo

   2021 - 2023

   Designed and published articles explaining complex concepts in simplified terminology to an audience of 30,000+ members of the Non-Profit organization StemToGo.
