About

Currently I am @ Simbie AI, where I am a founding engineer working on voice-agent focused healthcare products among other things.

Before this, I was @ Commure, as one of the first engineers on the EHR Integration team - where we took our AI Scribe and integrated it with EHRs/EMRs/MRSes. Healthcare Backoffice is my ikigai. I am obsessed with reducing burnout amongst healthcare professionals, and it helps I love programming and productionizing software.

I blog mostly at Mataroa, where I write things my coworkers shouldn't read. After years of maintaining my own blog, I decided Mataroa was the business I want to support - they're excellent, markdown-friendly, and very affordable.

I graduated from the M.S Computer Science program at Boston University in January, 2024 - this was when I first came to the US, and thus Boston has become what I still think of as home (Go Celtics!), though now I live in Mountain View by the downtown (also go Warriors!) - if you're here and would want to grab a coffee, my Calendar is open (I don't mind e-meets either!).

In the past, I was helping improve the sail spec for RISC-V. Before this, I was an RA/Intern at Multiparty where I worked on a secure multi-party computation library. I've also done a lot of Crypto work I don't talk about much since my focus now is exclusively healthcare, but I do believe Ethereum and Cosmos-type app-chains are the future of consensus, but the bad actors need a deep purge.

Achievements

• Owning many core workflows @ Commure, helping grow a small team and bringing in ~$1M in ARR directly or indirectly
• Top 10% when I applied to YC - it ain't much, but it's honest work
• Published my house album to most streaming platforms
• Libreprose has 3 users, I am one of them, and I'm working on some SciFi books. I feel India sorely lacks SciFi, and I'm trying to change that. SciFi is the sign of a progressing society
• Hopefully, helping Simbie grow to a multi-million dollar company. I love the team and the product!

Research

This is my unpublished research that is open source. This isn't pre-print, this is just a collection of my work that I have not published yet at all, and lots of work is left.

Current Research Areas

• A FHIR-optimized time-series database for continuous patient monitoring (repo) - I found out my implementation sucks, work in progress
• Using Multiparty Computing to find anonymised cost of care for patients - purely theoretical, I'm not sure how much this is actually useful. After working in healthcare, I've realized how sensitive hospitals are to data sharing
• Using interactive zero-knowledge proofs for negative STR DNA match proofs - Also theoretical, technically complete, written in Python, but practically still struggling with the problem of finding the right fit

Published Work

• Application of Nature-Inspired Swarm Optimization Algorithms in Artificial Neural Networks
