My Story
Building systems that learn and scale.
I'm Dhairya, a Software Engineer and ML Researcher deeply fascinated by the intersection of distributed computing and artificial intelligence. My journey started with a simple curiosity about how machines understand the world, which eventually led me to NYU Courant to dive deep into AI.
Over the last 6+ years, I've had the privilege of building pipelines that serve millions at companies like CVS Health and Aetna. But beyond the sheer scale, what I truly care about is reliability and impact. I believe that the best ML architectures are those invisible to the user—quietly fast, undeniably robust, and gracefully degrading when the unexpected happens.
When I'm not orchestrating cloud-native backfills or fine-tuning language models, you can find me exploring new coffee shops, reading up on the latest multi-agent world models, or simply walking my dog while thinking through an architecture problem.
Engineering Philosophy
Principles that guide my day-to-day work.
01 Empathy for the User
Every millisecond of latency or skewed prediction is a degraded experience for someone. I build with an empathy-first mindset, ensuring the end-user feels the magic of AI without the friction.
02 Pragmatism over Hype
While I love experimenting with state-of-the-art models, production demands stability. I prefer robust, well-tested architectures that deliver consistent value over the newest, untested paradigm.
03 Observability is a Feature
If it isn't monitored, it isn't in production. I embed telemetry, structured logging, and robust alerting from day one, treating observability as a core requirement rather than an afterthought.
04 Continuous Learning
The AI landscape shifts weekly. I maintain a researcher's curiosity alongside an engineer's discipline, constantly reading papers, prototyping new ideas, and learning from past failures.
Publications & Research
I'm passionate about contributing back to the academic community. My core research interests lie in multi-agent reinforcement learning, video world models, and robust ML infrastructure.
