"Even the gods desire to dominate others. Why should I stop, Shiva? But A true warrior doesn’t seek to dominate, but to discipline his own spirit as he knows nothing about surpassing others, but how to outdo himself, As he knows - A strong man stands above and conquers all."

🧑‍💻 Who I Am

I come from a small himalayan village near the Panchachuli in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. Just like a young lion must leave its pride to grow, I left my motherland to step outside my comfort zone, seek knowledge, and chase my ambitions. PS- I loveee Dragon Ball Z 💘


📚 Where I Am Now



🧠 What I Work On

I am deeply passionate about advancing AI in a safe, ethical, and impactful direction. My research interests lie at the intersection of language, learning, and robustness — where foundational understanding meets real-world application. Lately, I've been drawn to the challenges of building trustworthy AI and Adversarial Machine Learning, especially in the context of large language models and Reinforcement Learning.

My core areas of focus include:

  • Exploring the intersection of NLP, Reinforcement Learning, and Computer Vision

  • Building safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI systems

  • Studying adversarial attacks and defenses in language models

  • Improving model alignment, robustness, and generalization

In the long term, I aspire to pursue a PhD and contribute to meaningful research in AI safety and alignment. I enjoy working in collaborative, research-driven environments and am always open to discussions, ideas, and future opportunities.


🥋 Beyond the Code

I love Martial Arts as it builds not only my strength but also my character. The focus, discipline, and determination required in Judo, BJJ, Boxing, Kickboxing, and Wrestling have taught me more than any algorithm ever could.

I am a registered Judoka in Germany and a member of the Judo Club Dudweiler. Along with this, I regularly practice various martial arts at my university.

When I’m not coding or training, you can find me watching movies. I’m an avid collector, always on the lookout for new stories, genres, and perspectives. A good movie, just like a good project, can inspire and fuel creativity in unexpected ways.

I am always in for a discussion on ancient Indian philosophy and Spirituality like Vedas, Yoga and Bhagavad Gita. I believe in the balance between mind, body, and spirit — always seeking new ways to grow, whether on the mat, in nature, or through the lens of a camera.
