Hello, I’m Viral

I’m a Machine Learning Development Manager at Autodesk, a lifelong learner, and a teacher at heart. My work blends engineering, research, and leadership — turning ideas into scalable, impactful ML systems. I enjoy building things that are practical, minimal, and meaningful.

This site is my digital home — a place to document:

• Projects I’m working on
• Lessons from experiments (and failures)
• Reflections on engineering, learning, and life

What I Care About

• Applied ML — especially computer vision, NLP, generative AI, and self-supervised learning
• Simplicity — in design, code, processes, and communication
• Teaching & Mentorship — I actively mentor and teach, and believe sharing knowledge multiplies impact
• ML Infrastructure — building robust pipelines and evaluation frameworks
• Curiosity — I’m always learning, experimenting, and connecting dots across disciplines

My Stack

• Languages: Python, C++, JavaScript
• ML Frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, JAX, Scikit-Learn
• Platforms: AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, OpenAI
• Infra: Docker, AWS SAM, TensorRT, TFServing, Flask
• Boards: NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, Arduino
• Workflow: Git, Jira, Confluence, GitHub

Current Projects

• Writing weekly posts on ML, productivity, and teaching
• Exploring drawing with Sharpies & Sticky Notes ✏️
• Tending to this site as a digital garden 🌱
