About

I'm a Software Engineer II (MTS II) at Cohesity. I work on Gaia, Cohesity's generative AI assistant that uses RAG and LLMs to give insights from enterprise backup data. My part of it is secure, private data integration for customers and letting people ask questions about their data in plain English.

Before Cohesity, I was an Associate Software Engineer at Veritas for about two and a half years. One of the main things I built there was Alta Copilot, a multi-agent system on LangGraph with RAG, NL-to-SQL and decision-making agents. I implemented the LangGraph framework for it from scratch and also set up the LLMOps evaluation pipelines and observability. Apart from that, I worked on NetBackup and Alta View modules with Java and Spring Boot.

I studied Computer Science at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCoE), Pune, and graduated in 2022 with Honors in AI and Machine Learning. College is where I got into ML. I built a Conditional GAN that colors anime sketches, a Discord bot that catches toxic messages, and wrote about GANs and ML on Towards Data Science. I was also a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, Management Head at Google DSC PCCoE, Technical Head and Webmaster at the PCCoE ACM Student Chapter, and a technical author for ACM XRDS magazine.

I still go back to PCCoE sometimes to take sessions for students. You can find the material from those sessions at /pccoe.
