Meta Software Engineer (Oct 2021 - May 2022: Bay Area) I worked with the CPX Creation Expressions team on building the next gen Meta Business Suite (MBS) that lets you manage all of the connected accounts across Facebook and Instagram in one place. MBS offers a variety of tools that makes it easier to manage creators business presence for free.

As a Software Engineer with Alexa AI team, my mission is to push the envelope in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Machine Learning (ML), Dialog Management, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and Audio Signal Processing, in order to provide the best-possible experience for our customers. I partner with scientists, platform & ML engineers, solution architects to help design, implement and connect sophisticated algorithms to our cloud based engines. As one of the early engineers with this team, I worked (mostly single-handedly) on creating the core pieces of the skill authoring portal for Alexa Conversations Developer Experience preview which is a new deep learning-based approach that developers can use for creating natural voice experiences on Alexa with less effort, fewer lines of code and less training data than before. This new skill authoring experience helps developers create natural, flexible, multi-turn dialogs within a single skill and also helps them seamlessly integrate multiple skills into a single conversation without the need for explicit skill invocation and unnecessary context repetition. Alexa Conversations developer portal combines an AI-driven dialog manager with an advanced dialog simulation engine that automatically generates synthetic training data. The skill authoring portal that I built collects API definitions, provides an annotation tool for annotating sample dialogs that include the prompts that you want Alexa to say to the customer and also collects all the actions you expect the customer to take without imposing much cognitive overload to the developers interacting with the tool. Alexa Conversations downstream services uses this information to generate dialog flows and variations thus learning the large number of paths that these dialogs could take. Amazon Software Engineer (Feb 2016 - Sep 2017: Seattle, Oct 2017 - Jan 2019: Bay Area) Electronic Arts Software Engineer Intern (May 2015 - August 2015) - Austin As a Software Engineer Intern with the Digital Platforms Infrastructure team, I created a service for the open source architecture Graphite (Time series metric monitoring) using vRealize Automation Application Services 6.2, where I automated the complete application provisioning in the cloud including deploying, configuring and updating the application's components and dependent middle ware platform services on infrastructure clouds. On a higher level, I worked with the team to manage the data center and operations infrastructure to support EA's digital interactive assets. I assisted the team in automating server builds, deployment, monitoring, alerting and other orchestration needs. I was also be responsible for understanding which workloads are better suited to be run efficiently on public cloud or on a mixture of public and private cloud to drive down cost of hosting, increase quality of service and provide agility to react to the business growth. Arizona State University Student Instructor (Aug 2014 – Dec 2015) I was the instructor for the CSE 205 online course “Object Oriented Programming and Data Structures using Java” and CSE 110 online course "Principles of Programming with Java" Graduate Research Assistant (June 2014 - Aug 2014) Under the guidance of Professor Dr. Subbarao Kambhampati, I investigated the incorporation of a general planning capability into the robot to facilitate peer-to-peer human-robot teaming, in which the human and robot are viewed as teammates that are physically separated. I also performed an analysis of human factors on the effectiveness of proactive support for human aware planning in human robot teaming. I performed the evaluation in a simulated USAR task, in which the efficacy of teaming is not only dependent on individual performance, but also on teammates’ interactions with each other. Graduate Teaching Assistant (Jan 2014 – May 2014) TA for the course: CSE 494/598 Information retrieval, mining and integration on the internet. Graduate Advisor: Professor Dr. Subbarao Kambhampati Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad Research Associate (Aug 2013 - Nov 2013) Research Project: Freight Allocation problem with Lane Cost Balancing Constraints using CPLEX and C++.
