Shaped by Tech, Research & Athletics - Ready to Deliver Impact

Hi, I’m Sai

I’m a junior at Carnegie Mellon University studying Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction, with experience in data science, fintech, and AI research. On the field, I compete as a varsity soccer forward; off the field, I build solutions that combine analytical precision with the discipline and teamwork of sport.

Projects

Generative AI Literacy Framework (CMU)

Co-authored a peer-reviewed framework adopted by educators and policymakers to improve generative AI literacy. Conducted a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 300+ studies, designed reproducible research workflows, and synthesized insights into actionable strategies. Identified “Single Reformulated Prompting” (SRP) as the most effective technique for improving conceptual understanding and academic performance in undergraduate students.

EY India: Live Financial Repository & App Prototypes

Delivered a unified banking insights platform by building a live repository tracking fintech, AI/ML, and API-banking developments across major Indian banks. Conducted comparative API portal evaluations, mapped end-to-end account journeys, and synthesized market research from 5+ industry sources. Designed multi-screen Figma prototypes to streamline stakeholder access to data and accelerate decision-making.

Computational Biology: Machine Learning Pipeline (RIT)

Built a machine learning model to accurately identify allosteric sites in proteins, leveraging both sequence and structure-based features. Balanced and curated the dataset, engineered biologically meaningful features, and developed a scalable pipeline to advance bioinformatics research with potential for publication.

Soccer

Represented India at the U-17 level and competed as a varsity forward for Carnegie Mellon University. UAA All-Academic honoree, recognized for balancing a 15-hour weekly training schedule with a rigorous academic load and excelling in it.
