AI/ML Engineer · IIT Bhilai

Building agents, and digging into the internals of LLMs.

I'm Darsh Nandu - a 2nd-year DSAI student who builds AI systems from scratch, pokes at model internals, and ships everything to GitHub. Currently deep in mechanistic interpretability.

Selected Work

(07)

Things I've shipped - libraries, agents, and systems. Built from scratch, because that's the fastest way to actually learn.

About

"I like building things from scratch - it's the fastest way to actually learn them."

I'm a second-year B.Tech student in Data Science & AI at IIT Bhilai. I got into AI by wanting to understand how language models actually work under the hood - not just call APIs, but really understand the internals. That curiosity has stuck.

These days I split my time between research (NLP, mechanistic interpretability) and building systems - agents, RAG pipelines, inference platforms. Outside of code I'm usually reading about how the brain works, or finding ways to apply those ideas to make AI systems smarter.

Currently

  • Undergraduate researcher @ IIT Bhilai
  • Shipped nndbg - an NN interpretability toolkit, on PyPI
  • Studying LLM internals: MoE, FlashAttention, MLA
  • Learning reasoning models, world models & AI agents
  • Future: AI × Cybersecurity & Quantum computing
  • Open to research collabs & internships
