Associate Data Scientist at United Airlines, building production-grade RAG, LLM orchestration, and multi-agent systems for aviation workflows.
Work accepted at AAAI, WWW, India HCI, and ECML PKDD 2026.
100% Merit Scholar at IIIT Delhi and Jury-Recommended Winner at the Securities Market Hackathon.
Leadership: Previously served as President of BYLD, IIIT Delhi’s software development club, leading student developers and institute-wide portals used daily by 1,000+ students and faculty.
Conducted an industrial study comparing governed and continuously updated RAG pipelines for LLM-assisted version-migration code generation across 30 prompts and 10 software ecosystems. Proposed a context-aware routing strategy based on downstream code quality. This research was conducted during my AI internship at United Airlines.

abstract = {We present Roamify, a browser-embedded demonstration system for real-time, web-conditioned travel itinerary generation. Roamify converts live travel blogs and articles into structured multi-day itineraries by integrating large-scale Web scraping, neural summarisation, explicit preference modelling, and in-browser LLM generation. The system continuously retrieves fresh attraction data, summarises it using a finetuned T5 model, and composes coherent itineraries through LLaMA 3, guided by user-controlled sliders that encode historical, natural, cultural, and amusement preferences. Unlike static trip planning tools or chatbot-only assistants, Roamify enables interactive, controllable, and dynamically updated itinerary creation directly within the Chrome environment. This demo showcases a complete Web intelligence pipeline, from live data acquisition to human-in-the-loop LLM prompting, operating entirely on the client side for transparency and low-latency interaction.},
