Quasi Ventures

Sr. Artificial Intelligence Engineer

• Managed a small team to build a generative AI entertainment app. Built unique creation algorithms to generate pieces of content dynamically as the user interacted with the app.
• Built on top of generative AI tools such as Stable Diffusion, GPT-4, Langchain, MusicLM, Runway, etc to create many modalities of entertainment. Created meta-prompting architectures to adapt these creations to user preferences over time. Some of these models were implemented into production with days of their release.
• Managed backend database of several thousand users. Created rigorously tested endpoints and optimized backend calls. Interacted with several external APIs.
• Led development of iOS app. Used Xcode, swift, javascript, firebase, and postman to build scalable fullstack code. Iterated from user feedback to adapt our user interface to be more intuitive.

Clubs + Leadership

Purdue Founders

Co-President

Created by Shantanu Roy, Purdue Founders is Purdue's largest student run entrepreneurial community. I have helped build and promote Purdue Founders since its inception last year. Over the course of several months, we have grown to a community of over 200 members.

Project Caelus

Structures Lead

Project Caelus is a team with the mission of becoming the first high school group to launch a liquid fueled rocket. Joining in my sophomore year of high school, I quickly rose to a leadership position, Structures Lead, in charge of test stand and physical rocket development. I invested 20+ hours a week and day-to-day worked on managing CAD models, creating purchase orders for components, and 3D printing designs.

TJ Automotive Engineering

Team Lead

Electrical automotive engineering has always been a great interest of mine growing up, and I had the honor of being able to lead my high school's Automotive Engineering club. During the pandemic, since we were unable to meet in person, I created a series of presentations detailing important concepts with real world examples. As we transitioned to in-person meetings, I led the group in constructing an electric go-kart, as well as a fully custom racing simulator. I also managed the team budget and fundraising.

TJ Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Member

During high school, I was an active member of the UAV Club, where I co-developed an RC plane capable of autonomous flight. Our team's innovation led us to place 23rd out of 68 teams in the collegiate AVUSI SUAS competition, a significant achievement for one of the few high school teams. This experience deepened my knowledge in aerodynamics, software systems, and RC technology. Recently, I've furthered my expertise by building an autonomous drone that can fly and record video, showcasing my evolution from collaborative projects in high school to independent, advanced pursuits in college.
