From Curiosity to Production-Grade AI — One Milestone at a Time.
From a summer in C to building production AI systems — every milestone is a stamp on the map.
Education
Academic Foundation
JNTU Hyderabad
B.Tech. in CS & Engineering (Data Science) — CGPA: 9.49/10
College wasn't just coursework — it was a launchpad. I arrived knowing C and left knowing how to build systems, lead teams, and win under pressure. Four years of building, competing, leading, and growing.
ASU — M.S. Computer Science
GPA: 4.0/4.0
I could have stayed comfortable at JPMC. But every chatbot I built made me want to understand the deeper mechanics — why do models hallucinate? How do you build agents that actually reason? ASU was the answer: a place to turn questions into research.
Work Experience
Professional Roles
JPMC — Software Engineering Intern
LLM chatbot & real-time data streaming
Walking into one of the world's largest financial institutions as an intern was humbling. I built an LLM chatbot that actually helped engineers during incidents, and a Kafka streaming platform serving 70+ apps. Walking out with a full-time offer felt earned.
JPMC — Software Development Engineer I
RASA NLU assistant & production CI/CD
They started calling me "the chatbot girl" — not as a joke, but as recognition. I took early proof-of-concepts that others had shelved and turned them into production systems handling real user queries at enterprise scale. That reputation was built one deploy at a time.
Milestones
Achievements, Leadership & Research
First Place at MUN
Learning to argue with evidence
MUN taught me that the best argument isn't the loudest — it's the most structured. That skill transfers directly to system design reviews, research presentations, and product pitches.
NASA Space Apps Hackathon
Chandigarh nationals
Building something for a NASA challenge felt like the scope of ambition I'd always wanted. Traveling to Chandigarh for nationals was the first time I realized: this work can take me places — literally and figuratively.
Code for Good
The win that changed everything
Second-year students don't usually win national hackathons against final-year teams. But we did — and that win opened the door to JPMorgan Chase. It proved that hunger and clarity beat experience when you're solving the right problem.
President, Literaria Clava
Leading through literature
Literature isn't a hobby separate from engineering — it's where I learned to think in narratives, build arguments, and understand what moves people. Leading Literaria Clava taught me that good leadership feels like good editing: you make others' work shine.
Women Leadership Conclave
Chairing conversations that matter
Chairing the Women Leadership Conclave wasn't about a title — it was about creating space for conversations that don't happen enough. The conclave brought together leaders across industries and gave students a stage to ask the hard questions.
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
Cloud fundamentals validated
Getting AWS certified was about validating what I'd already been building in production — but the structured learning filled in gaps I didn't know I had.
Research & Building
LLMs, agents, and orchestration
At ASU, every project is a different kind of puzzle. Building agentic systems that plan and execute. Teaching models to reason step by step. Building memory systems that actually remember. The thread connecting them all: making AI more reliable, more autonomous, and more useful.
ACM @ ASU
Director of Engagement
Leading ACM at ASU means building the kind of community I wish I'd had earlier — where someone can walk in curious and leave connected. It's the same energy as Literaria Clava, just with more Python and fewer sonnets.
