Chirudeva Reddy // AI Engineer

Hi! I'm Chirudeva.

01 / What I do

I build perceptual intelligence for complex physical systems.

AI engineer and 3rd-year Computer Science undergraduate at BITS Pilani Dubai, with a Minor in Data Science.

02 / Research

I teach machines to see in 3D.

Estimating parametric 3D human body meshes from 2D binary silhouettes, without ever storing raw imagery. An IJCAI paper proposal under Dr. Shivang Agarwal.

03 / Industry

And I ship it.

−42% API error rate at Nablix Labs. +28% efficiency on fullstack ML apps at Jovens Technologies. Security automation across 8 client platforms at Domdog.

Extracting dense 3D representations from sparse privacy-preserving inputs.

My academic research focuses on the intersection of Computer Vision, Deformable 3D Representations, and Privacy-Preserving Perception. Under the supervision of Dr. Shivang Agarwal, I am authoring a paper proposal for IJCAI on estimating parametric 3D human body meshes directly from 2D binary silhouettes without storing raw optical imagery.

In industry, I work as AI Engineer Intern at Nablix Labs (curating API endpoints and reducing error rates by 42%), and previously served as Fullstack Developer Intern at Jovens Technologies FZ-LLC (architecting fullstack ML apps with 28% efficiency boost and NLP pipelines reducing manual time by 12%), and SDE Intern at Domdog (building Playwright automation, malicious content scanner integration across 8 client platforms, and boosting SEO traffic by 11%).

Privacy-Preserving Body Composition Estimation

Computer vision, IJCAI proposal 09/2025 - Present

Creating a pipeline to estimate human body composition from silhouettes under privacy constraints using transfer learning, hyperparameter tuning, and 3-D reconstruction under supervision of Dr. Shivang Agarwal.

PyTorch, SAM 2.1, YOLOv11, Siamese ResNet-18, SMPL-X

Pipeline diagram: front and side phone photos are segmented with YOLOv11m and SAM 2.1, encoded by a Siamese ResNet-18 aligned with InfoNCE, and regressed into waist, hip and chest girths that give WHtR, WHR and BRI. An SMPL-X geometry gate reports only when the fitted body explains the silhouettes, and abstains otherwise. Waist error is 2.40 cm, 74% lower than a single view.

Pre-Generation Hallucination Detection in RAG (opens live demo on GitHub Pages in a new tab)

NLP, LLM interpretability 03/2026 - Present

Catching RAG hallucinations in a transformer's hidden states before the first wrong token is written. Paired forward passes on Qwen2.5-1.5B, with and without the retrieved evidence, yield four representation-drift signals fused into one score: AUROC 0.651 on RAGTruth and 0.645 zero-shot on HaluEval, with drift peaking two tokens before the hallucination appears.

PyTorch, Qwen2.5-1.5B, hidden-state probing, RAGTruth

Pipeline diagram: the same RAG prompt runs through Qwen2.5-1.5B with retrieved evidence and with empty context. Hidden states from the last 18 layers feed four drift signals (cosine drift, PCA residual, logit-lens KL and Mahalanobis distance), robust-z fused into a hallucination score with AUROC 0.651 on RAGTruth. Drift peaks two tokens before the hallucinated text.

Road Accident Severity Prediction (opens live demo on GitHub Pages in a new tab)

Data science, ~940K records 09/2025 - 01/2026

Built a collaborative 4-member project on crash severity prediction for the Chicago Crash Dataset of about 940,000 records. Contributed data-preprocessing and interactive risk visualization.

LightGBM, SMOTE, SHAP / LIME, DBSCAN, GeoPandas

Pipeline diagram: about 940,000 Chicago crashes are spatially joined to 77 community areas. One branch trains LightGBM with SMOTE (held-out macro F1 0.806) and explains it with SHAP and LIME; the other finds DBSCAN hotspots per area and scores them with a severity-weighted risk index for a dashboard.

Predicting Student Depression Risk

AI, fuzzy logic + ANN 02/2024 - 05/2024

Worked under Dr. Shanookha Ali to build a system using fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks in order to tune and predict continuous depression risk of students from lifestyle and academic factors, achieving 98% training error reduction.

ANFIS, Sugeno FIS, nested cross-validation, calibration

Pipeline diagram: a survey of 2,992 students, replicated on 44,922 NHANES cases, is reduced to four leakage-safe inputs. Under 5 by 5 nested cross-validation, ridge, a shallow tree, EBM, an expert fuzzy system and ANFIS are compared; ANFIS reaches AUROC 0.865, equivalent to ridge, then passes a calibration and rule audit feeding certified early stopping of the PHQ-9.
