01 About

I turn messy data into models that ship to real users.

Vedant standing outside on the UC San Diego campus
Fr 001La Jolla, CA

I am a Data Science student at UC San Diego with a passion for machine learning, AI, and software development. My goal is to create meaningful solutions that leverage data to solve complex problems.

01Interests
Machine learning, agentic AI and computer vision, aimed at problems with real stakes: health, ecology, finance and how people behave online.
02Work
Agentic AI engineering at PwC and Oaken, CTO at UniCircle, and ongoing applied AI research at UCSD's STSLab on whether AI conversations can reduce toxic discourse.
03Achievements
3.96 GPA with Provost Honors. Best project at the Claude Impact Lab, Best Project at DS3 Fall 2025, and Best Project and People's Choice among 42 teams in DSC 106. President of CSES Open Source.

    Indianapolis, INHybrid

    Oaken is an Indiana agtech software company that helps farm operators manage leases, finances and relationships with the landowners they farm for. Its platform keeps landowner records in one place and turns them into clear reports.

    1. Fr 001

      Partnered with the CEO and CTO to build a proof-of-concept that turns mixed farm Word and PDF files into one branded landowner report, using one LangGraph pipeline and a YAML profile per company.

    2. Fr 002

      The engine ingests documents, filters records by crop year, and writes a year-to-date or year-end Word file as per-field agronomic notes or a whole-farm financial letter. Claude or Gemini drafts the narrative, with local templates as a fallback; tables, charts, and captions come from code.

    3. Fr 003

      A verifier requires every figure to already exist in the parsed source data. Shipped a Flask upload app on Railway, with OCR for scanned pages, pytest evals, and GitHub Actions CI.
