Software Engineer Center for Hardware and Embedded System Security and Trust (ASEEC Lab) Davis, CA Aug 2024 – Present
• Configured GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline and pre-commit checks to standardize the lab’s development workflow.
• Built and deployed a containerized LLM inference service using Docker to support researcher workflows.
• Developed automated pipelines that validated, processed and converted 10,000 samples from GitHub, HuggingFace, and frontier AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek) into structured datasets for model training.
• Implemented LLM based hardware test pattern generation, achieving 15% improvement in structured code generation and compilation success rate from 20% to 60%.
• Co-authored two peer-reviewed publications on ML-driven hardware fuzzing (ISQED 2025) and Benchmarking LLMs for low-power RTL design (MLCAD 2025).
Full Stack Developer ME / SA Dept., UC Davis Davis, CA Jan 2025 – Jun 2025
• Built a full-stack language learning platform using React.js, Django, and MongoDB, deployed on GCP and serving 50+ students in UC Davis Hindi classes.
• Integrated OpenAI LLM API to power AI-generated question/answer pairs, glossaries, and automated practice and evaluation for learners.
• Designed and implemented secure JWT authentication and RESTful APIs; developed an automated pipeline using the YouTube Data API to generate and curate a Hindi Q&A dataset. Software Developer Artificial Intelligence Accountability & Explainability (AIEA) Lab Santa Cruz, CA Aug 2024 – Sep 2025
• Deployed and maintained a full-stack web application on AWS EC2, managing end-to-end delivery from development to production.
• Developed the application using React, Flask, and MongoDB, building RESTful APIs to support a researcher-facing chat interface.
• Engineered RAG pipelines integrating OpenAI + Pinecone, processing a document corpus with over 20,000 Q&A pairs using chunked vector embeddings to ground LLM responses in verified sources.
• Validated pipeline performance using G-Eval and RAGAS, achieving a 30% reduction in hallucination over baseline. Full Stack Developer Elite Softwares Pune, India Sep 2021 – Nov 2021
• Built a full-stack CRM web application using React, Flask, and PostgreSQL, replacing a manual Excel-based workflow for a delivery business.
• Designed the database schema from scratch and built RESTful APIs with JWT authentication to manage customers, deliveries, drivers, and complaints.
• Optimized SQL queries reducing data retrieval times by 35%; implemented automated test suites with PyTest achieving 70% test coverage.
