I am a reseacher, engineer and a part-time soccer player.

I am the CEO and Founder of Whissle, which aims to enable real-time signal processing for media. Vision is to democratize speech signal processing capabilities while reducing human-in-the-loop annotation costs.

I was a scientist at Interactions LLC (research group from AT&T Bell Labs) 2021-2023 and recieved my PhD from University of Southern California, advised by Shrikanth Narayanan (SAIL lab). Before that, I did a masters-by-research (including undergrad.) in Computational Linguistics at IIIT-Hyderabad advised by Dipti Misra Sharma.

My research lies in natural language processing, use of acoustic-prosodic cues and more recently enabling speech-based methods for traditional NLP tasks.
