About

Startup

I was the co-founder of Dice Health, a startup that built automation tools for veterinary healthcare providers. My co-founder and friend Abdullah and I started it in late 2023, were profitable from Day 1 since we never raised any funding, grew Dice to a team of 4, and finally sold it to our second enterprise customer in early 2025.

I am also the creator of Awesome-MLSS, a project I have been running since 2018 that curates summer schools in the field of machine learning. It has grown from a single markdown file on Github to a website, newsletter, and a community of over 50K annual visitors and 1000+ subscribers.

Research

Beofre starting Dice, I used to work at Meta (Facebook) AI Research with Dr. Ari Morcos on scaling laws, self-supervised computer vision, and foundation models.

Before that, I was at the Vector Institute, working with Prof Graham Taylor at the Machine Learning Research Group on conditional computation in neural networks, visual reasoning, and dynamic neural networks.

Even further back, I was a research assistant at the Visual Computing Lab at the Indian Institute Of Science working with Prof Anirban Chakraborty and Prof Anand Mishra, working on visual question answering, entity re-identification and object detection.

Engineering

I have several years of experience in machine learning and computer vision working with Vector Institute, NEXT-AI Toronto, Layer6 AI Toronto, Shell R&D Center Bangalore, HyperWorks Imaging Bangalore, & Samsung Research Institute Delhi.

Consulting

I have consulted for various startups in Canada, and a few in the US and India on machine learning, computer vision, and more recently on large language models, data curation, and inference optimization.

Education

I did my master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Guelph, with a specialization in Artifical Intelligence. I wrote my master's thesis on dynamic neural networks and cognitive science. You can read it here: Inductive Biases for Higher-Order Visual Cognition.

I did my bachelor’s in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Indian Institute Of Technology Dhanbad.
