I took a sabbatical after 5+ years at Intuit to manage a personal commitment and travel & research aspirations.
I traveled across US/Paris/Vietnam/Thailand, extended prior research from IIIT-H, prototyping a multimodal pipeline that detects motion highlights & generates natural language captions using transformers. Also used this period to up-skill & deepen technical expertise
