About Me
I am a Senior Software Engineer at Kayak, specializing in Java backend development, Spring Boot, and building robust microservice architectures. With a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai, my work focuses on designing scalable, distributed systems.
Beyond core backend engineering, I am deeply invested in the evolution of AI architectures. I actively explore Trustworthy AI systems, Agentic AI, and safety mechanisms for Small Language Models (SLMs). As an IEEE Senior Member, I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of engineers and contributing to the global tech community.
When I am not writing code or reviewing technical papers, I enjoy nature photography and road trips around New England and beyond.
