ML Researcher and Gamer
I am a ML Reseracher primarily working in 3 different areas : 1) Vertical agents and applications, 2) TTS and STT models for south-asian languages, 3) LLMs/VLMs for south-asian languages. I am currently the NLP Research lead at Traversaal.ai, On weekends I work on open source projects on Agents through Cohere Labs where I lead the ML-Agents group.
I have started my career through an esports org Black-Ops esports which I founded and managed for 3.5 years. We mostly earn revenue by helping connect newer content creators with advertising brands and taking a cut of their ad-revenue. I occasionaly still help them and other Instagram meme pages with content ideas and growth startegies.
During my masters, I have took part in kaggle competitions and sharedtasks where I finished 1st in 4 of the 5 we took part in while using limited resources in comparison to other competitors. Later on I have built a group of researchers (1-800-SHARED-TASKS) partly comprised of such competition winners and people with similar reserach interests. The group’s projects run on several grants obtained over the past year totalling over 20000$ from OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc..
