About

I’m Manan, an AI engineer and researcher doing my MS in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan.

These days I’ve been spending most of my time messing around with reinforcement learning and vision-language models.

I learn best by building, so a lot of what’s here started as a question I wanted to see working for myself. I’d love to give back too, so if there’s any way I can help, my inbox is open :)
