I'm an entrepreneur and engineering and product leader interested in novel applications of technology for social good, and my experience includes product and AI engineering at Microsoft (Cortana language understanding and Accessibility Innovation), Uber and IBM Research. Before this, I graduated from Stanford with bachelors and masters in Computer Science focusing on AI and human computer interaction. I have also worked on several tech-powered entrepreneurial ventures over the years to empower people with disabilities, positively impacting over 12,000 people with disabilities and working with 20+ corporates and universities. In recognition of my technical skills and social initiatives, I've been honored with several national and international awards and scholarship including the Queen's Young Leaders Award 2016 presented by Her Majesty the Queen (60 young leaders from across 53 commonwealth countries), UN Young Leaders 2018 from the United Nation's Secretary General's Envoy on Youth (17 young leaders from around the world), National Award for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities 2018 from the Govt. of India (India's highest presidential honor for the empowerment of people with disabilities) among others. I'm currently working on projects focused on leveraging the latest advancements in large language and action models to enhance digital access for the underrepresented, and imagine new interaction paradigms.
