Work Experience

TAMUCC
Graduate Research Assistant | NLP Researcher
May 2025 – Dec 2025
University research in NLP and generative audio—developed prototype systems for lyric generation, sentiment-aware text, and audio synthesis for interactive demo applications.
Tech Stack: Python, GPT-2, Bark, MusicGen, Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch
  • Designed and implemented an end-to-end AI music generation platform combining lyric generation, sentiment analysis, and audio synthesis to enable interactive song creation for research demos.
  • Fine-tuned GPT-2 on the GeniusLyrics dataset to produce context-aware, genre-specific lyrics; achieved ~92% measured alignment between generated lyrics and target emotion labels.
  • Integrated Bark and MusicGen for phoneme-aware vocal synthesis and optimized the audio pipeline to reduce end-to-end inference latency by 30%, improving interactivity for user sessions.
  • Built scalable inference pipelines for lyric generation, sentiment classification, and audio rendering; containerized services for reproducible experiments and faster iteration.
  • Instrumented evaluation pipelines using automatic metrics and human-in-the-loop evaluations to validate emotional alignment and generation quality across genres.
  • Authored reproducible training and deployment notebooks using Hugging Face Transformers and PyTorch; standardized preprocessing and checkpointing to accelerate model iteration.
TAMUCC
Graduate Research Assistant | MLSecOps
Sep 2024 – Apr 2025
Academic research on LLM robustness and adversarial prompt attacks—developed attack frameworks and evaluated mitigation strategies in sandboxed model environments.
Tech Stack: Python, PPO, Evolutionary Algorithms, GPT-4, Claude, LLaMA
  • Engineered an adversarial prompt-generation framework combining reinforcement learning (PPO) and evolutionary search to discover prompts that bypass model safeguards.
  • Executed controlled evaluations of prompt attacks against GPT-4, Claude, and LLaMA families, reporting an attack success rate exceeding 80% in sandbox experiments to inform mitigation research.
  • Designed a multi-objective benchmark measuring attack success, stealthiness, and reproducibility to systematically compare attack strategies and model vulnerabilities.
  • Developed tooling to automate large-scale prompt generation, scoring, and logging for reproducible MLSecOps experiments and ablation studies.
  • Proposed and validated mitigation strategies (prompt sanitization heuristics and ranking-based filtration) that reduced successful exploit prompts in lab tests.
  • Documented experimental protocols, safety considerations, and reproducible artifacts to support follow-on research and responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.
GangaSoft
Associate Data Scientist
Apr 2022 – Oct 2023
E-commerce / retail analytics—built data pipelines and analytical models to support merchandising, demand forecasting, and executive reporting for multi-location retail operations.
Tech Stack: Python, SQL, Pandas, NumPy, BigQuery, Looker Studio
  • Analyzed 10M+ retail transactions to identify sales trends, regional demand patterns, and promotion impact; insights guided merchandising and pricing decisions.
  • Built scalable ingestion and transformation pipelines handling 15M+ daily records from sales, inventory, and pricing systems to feed analytics and ML models.
  • Developed optimized analytical queries and data models in BigQuery to compute KPIs (revenue, basket size, sell-through), cutting report generation time by ~30%.
  • Designed and produced interactive dashboards and operational reports in Looker Studio tracking performance across 1,000+ retail locations for commercial stakeholders.
  • Performed statistical analysis and A/B style attribution to quantify seasonality and promotion lift; recommendations led to prioritized SKU assortment changes.
  • Optimized ETL workflows with Python and SQL to reduce pipeline latency and improve data freshness for downstream ML and business reporting.

  • Your free digital resume

    at drivetube.ai/in/your-name: one true standard resume with a Hiring Snapshot (visa status, expected salary, notice period, work preference, relocation), an ATS-ready PDF download and a single shareable link. Free forever; interview requests come from verified employers and your contact details stay masked until you accept.

    Documentation
  • Verified jobs, posted in the last 3 days

    verified openings crawled ATS-by-ATS from 115,000+ real company career pages across 54 ATS platforms. Shows the true posting date from the source ATS — not when a listing was indexed — and deletes every general listing 3 days after it was actually posted. No ghost jobs, no ad-sponsored listings, no staffing reposts, no account needed.

    Documentation
  • Written by senior career writers

    human-written, ATS-optimised resumes by senior career writers, from ₹499.99 / $25.99. Available in every country, written to the destination country's own standard — a US resume, UK CV, German Lebenslauf and Indian resume are genuinely different documents. A paid service, separate from the free Drivetube Profile.
