- Part of New Gen Browser - Reading and Translation Team and own Read Aloud feature area in Edge.
- Designed and Shipped Read Aloud on PDF from ground-up which increased total MAU by 40%. Here, we refactored out legacy code to accommodate collective design for multiple platforms. Created parser for PDF content that could be consumed on Javascript code.
- Worked on constant improvements in feature area, one of them being improving start time of Read Aloud by 50%. Here, we were able to channel one-shot output of content to batch processed content.
- Worked on Smarter Experiences in for Read Aloud, where we use Bing SD and were able to increase user engagement by 12%. Here, we also setup Falcon(Azure) based service to engage with Bing SD store to create response that could be consumed by client.
- Worked on setting up testing pipelines for PR validations. We migrated legacy QUnit tests and introduced usage of JEST.
- Worked on some other feature areas like Citations. Here, we developed machine learning model to do entity extraction on Web Sites. Worked on end-to-end experience from UI to integration of models with Edge Client.

Publications
- MatGap: A Systematic Approach to Perform Match and Gap Analysis among SBVR-Based Domain Specific Business Rules, 2018 25th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC), Nara, Japan, 2018, pp. 551-560, doi: 10.1109/APSEC.2018.00070. We built a tool to determine represent SVBR based business rules to a canonical form and determiner percentage equality between them. Here, we initially explore mathematics driven approach using first-order logic but found better results using Natural Language Processing based approach.
- Testing of Horn Samplers, Proceedings of The 26th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, PMLR 206:1301-1330, 2023. We built a framework and used it to determine whether the underlying probability distribution of a SAT sampler is nearly Uniform or not. Later, this framework has been extended to determine this for any general class samplers.
