About

I am a Co-founder at 12bit AI, where I work on developing synthetic medical imaging data to support AI-driven healthcare solutions. My role bridges technology and user experience, focusing on designing intuitive interfaces and exploring innovative ways to guide AI algorithms. I engage in business development, market research, and investor engagement as well.

Previously, I was a Founding Software Engineer at Akai Kaeru, where I contributed to building a no/low-code visual data science platform for high-dimensional data. My work there combined elements of Data Science, Visual Analytics, and Human-Computer Interaction, with an emphasis on creating user-friendly data visualization tools.

In academia, I serve as a Research Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, supervising projects in Visual Analytics and Human-Computer Interaction. My academic interests lie in Visual Analytics, Information Visualization, and Human-Computer Interaction, and I supervise student projects in these areas.

I hold a Ph.D. in a Computer Science from Stony Brook University under Prof. Klaus Mueller's supervision at the Visual Analytics and Imaging Lab. My dissertation focused on enabling broader participation in visualization by designing interfaces for users with varying levels of visualization literacy. During my academic journey, I authored over 18 peer-reviewed publications and received two best paper awards. My bachelor's degree in Information Technology is from Goa University, India.

My expertise lies in Visual Analytics, Data Visualization, AI, and Human-Computer Interaction, with technical skills in React.js, Python, D3.js, and cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud.
