My Story

My journey from a Computer Science student in India to a technical leader in Los Angeles has taught me to build systems that are not only functional, but resilient and observable at scale.

As a Software Engineer 2 at Onetera (through March 2026), I architected distributed AI infrastructure and high-performance systems for production workloads. I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, where I specialized in AI/ML and distributed systems.

My Philosophy

Systems over features. The best engineering decisions account for long-term performance, observability, and reliability, not just immediate delivery.

I focus on distributed AI infrastructure, observability systems, and high-performance engineering that creates measurable business outcomes.

Modern AI engineering, secure architecture, and product-led execution across enterprise, civic tech, and developer tooling.

OpenAI Cookbook: LangChain RunnableWithMessageHistory hardening

Contributed a reproduction and in-cookbook mitigation for unsafe deserialization in RunnableWithMessageHistory: constructor-shaped run outputs were being revived into live messages and persisted to chat history (history poisoning), related to langchain-ai/langchain#36380.

  • Reproduction script under examples/langchain_core documenting the issue
  • Documents safe persistence when outputs are treated as inert data with an explicit message allowlist
  • Local LangChain dev ergonomics: ignores for clone/virtualenv paths used in verification

Evolutionary-SDE

Explores evolutionary algorithms together with stochastic differential equation (SDE) formulations for simulation and optimization-style experiments.

  • Evolutionary search strategies over continuous dynamics
  • Reproducible experiments and clear repository layout
  • Suited for extending with custom fitness landscapes and noise models

Google Gemini Cookbook: Cost & Health Monitoring Utility

Architected a cost-tracking utility that handles sub-second API health heartbeats for Gemini 2.0/3.0 models. Contributed to the official Google Gemini repository with production-ready observability tooling.
