ML Researcher | ML Engineer | Mobile Developer

I design and build machine learning systems from scratch. Published my first research paper at 19 — introducing Gated Recursive Fusion, a novel multimodal architecture. Currently building Neura, a custom deep learning framework in CUDA.

About Me

My focus lies at the intersection of systems and intelligence: CUDA-based frameworks, efficient transformers, and novel multimodal reasoning strategies. I aim to make AI more interpretable, efficient, and structurally grounded—not just bigger.
