i study all kinds of brains. my interests involve everything along the lines of behavioral science, embodied ai, neural robotics, ml and computational neuroscience. my primary goal is to learn and explore as much as possible (which is reflected in my random assortment of projects and interests.)

i maintain frontiermanual.blog, which hosts my irregularly updated database of research paper notes and author replies. roughly maintained in the form of fields > field breakdowns > concept notes > research paper notes.

previously worked on a bunch of deterministic ai architecture. a coding harness that compiled micro blocks of templated code along an LLM plan, which achieved a 10% gain over gpt-4.1 using the same model on the DS 1000 subset. I also worked on architecture for memory systems.

currently doing my undergrad in computer science at VIT Vellore, previously lived in bangalore.
