LLM Trainer

Outlier · Remote

RLHF preference ranking and pairwise comparison of model responses across coding and reasoning tasks, with evidence-based justifications for every rating.

  • Authored structured feedback and failure-mode annotations used to shape reward-model signals for downstream reinforcement learning.
  • Reviewed code generation for correctness, efficiency, and adherence to task specifications.

LLM Trainer

Soul AI

Evaluated and benchmarked multi-model LLM outputs across STEM and non-STEM domains for factual accuracy, reasoning, and response quality.

  • Audited agent tool-calling behaviour, validating function-call schemas, parameter correctness, and API integration reliability in code-execution traces.
  • Engineered prompts with zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought techniques to improve reasoning consistency.

AI Intern

Schneider Electric · Bengaluru

Built a GenAI knowledge bot for developers, using retrieval-augmented generation over internal documentation and codebases to return source-grounded answers and code references.

  • Prototyped GenAI across knowledge management, automated testing, and code assistance, evaluating LLM integration patterns and embedding-based retrieval.
  • Designed semantic indexing and vector search over internal documentation to improve discoverability of engineering knowledge org-wide.

An economist’s lens.
An engineer’s instinct.

I studied Economics at IIT Kharagpur. Today, I work at the intersection of business and AI: understanding the problem, designing the system, and getting it into production.

I enjoy the whole journey, from raw data and model behaviour to agent orchestration and the infrastructure underneath. The goal stays the same: build something useful that works in the real world.

I write on LinkedIn about where AI is heading and what it takes to build with it. Below are my five most-read posts on the subject, by LinkedIn impressions in September 2026, and more to explore.

The most important AI in India isn’t a chatbot. It’s a translator.

Bhashini and NITI Aayog are putting voice-first AI into government services across 22 scheduled languages: speech recognition, IndicTrans2 translation, and speech synthesis. Frontier models get the headlines; this is the layer that decides whether any of it reaches a billion people.

Apple’s “Illusion of Thinking” and the limits of reasoning models

Given the exact solution algorithm, reasoning models still collapsed on hard puzzles. One executed 100+ Tower of Hanoi steps but failed four moves of an unfamiliar river-crossing puzzle: a reality check on memorisation versus generalisation.

gpt-oss: OpenAI’s first open-weight models since GPT-2

120B and 20B models under Apache 2.0, with tool use and MXFP4 quantisation; the smaller one runs in 16 GB of RAM. A welcome pivot, with caveats: text only, and no training-data disclosure.

DeepSeek’s harness makes even the agent loop a plugin

Codex and Claude Code build file tools into the harness core. DeepSeek, inspired by Cordis, treats every capability as a plugin, so tools can be swapped at run time without restarting the agent.

Jev: a decision engine for what LLMs shouldn’t do

Agents often force LLMs to act as routers and guardrails. Jev scores a finite set of typed choices in parallel instead of generating text, so there is nothing to parse and the output space is bounded.

The OpenAI Navier-Stokes controversy

Two mathematicians spent a year on a problem; OpenAI says a model resolved aspects of it in 88 hours. What the dispute over research direction, private tool data, and credit says about AI inside research.
