ADYA PRASAD
I work on machine learning research, with a long-term goal of contributing to LLM inference research, LLM alignment, and machine learning systems design. My current experience include model evaluation, post-training, reinforcement learning, and multi-agent systems. At BaseThesis Lab, I study chain-of-thought unfaithfulness using residual-stream activations and linear probes, exploring how models reason internally and whether their verbal explanations faithfully represent that process.
I also bring 4 years of experience building Python backend systems. This engineering background helps me turn research questions into reproducible experiments, build reliable training and evaluation pipelines, and take technical work from an initial hypothesis to analyzed results. I am currently seeking a research internship or job at a startup where I can contribute across ML research, research engineering, and system design.
in my intermediate schooling I publish a STEM website it name was Indiecore where I provided educational material, quizzes and PYQ. I built the website with a CMS and scaled it to 1 million plus impressions and 200k traffic. It Shutdown in May 2019 - Dec 2022
Currently as a side hustle I am building a lab Creators AI Lab where I am innovating and developing tools and SaaS for Content Creators.
♡ A soul, committed to the intersection of backend dev, ML research, and startup culture ♡
EXPERIENCES
Research Fellow | Sentient Future Org
- Problem Statement: LLM-driven causal modeling of AI loss-of-control risk.Mentor: Swaptik Chowdhury
- Using a custom built library of AI loss-of-control scenarios. And converting it into causal loop diagrams by extracting decision-relevant variables and the relationships between them, using an LLM pipeline grounded in established literature-extraction methods
- Role: Building the technical pipeline end to end. This includes implementing the literature-extraction methods to pull decision-relevant variables and relationships from the scenario library, building the LLM pipeline that converts these into causal loop diagrams, and testing the SaferAI quantitative risk estimation methods on top of the resulting diagrams
Applied AI Research Intern | BaseThesis Lab
- Working on research: Evaluating Chain-of-Thought Unfaithfulness from Residual Stream Trajectories and linear probe
- Initiated and co-led an empirical research project investigating whether a model's internal residual-stream representations faithfully align with its verbalized chain-of-thought during reasoning task.
- Designed and curated a diverse evaluation dataset spanning mathematics, reasoning, history, and safety to improve statistical robustness and probe generalization. Scored AUROC 0.65, demonstrating residual-stream trajectories provide useful signals for detecting unfaithful reasoning
Full Stack Developer | NowTreat Healthcare
- Ownership of official website and integrate a patient post treatment care and booking service, along with feedback loop using WordPress CMS, and JavaScript to support post-treatment guidance, and improve patient engagement.
- Small team, high ownership! Along with marketing team and founder, designed an marketing funnel for better user experience and engagement and converting online traffic to potential patents. Collectively achieve 38% more engagement and 26% more footfall
Founder: Creators AI Lab
- Cupid AI Suite: An app with Swarm of AI agents for diverse and user
personalized research and content creations using LangGraph, FastAPI, API Services,
PostgreSQL, Redis, ChromaDB, and Docker.
Designed a multi-stage safety and response evaluation pipeline combining heuristic validation, policy checks, and quantitative monitoring metrices to filter user inputs and validate LLM outputs before responding to user. - Luffy Create:Luffy Create is a free and open source AI video editing, video
creation, image editing and graphic designing web app.
Luffy Create has been built with the principle of providing a lightweight and fast editing experience. Goal: Our aim is to make 'Luffy Create' the best editing app for animations, transitions, and effects.
Freelance Works (Developer)
- Yatidhara [FMCG]:Work with founder in supply chain of Ayurvedic and healthy (gift style) products. I work on designing premium healthy products (snacks) packaging and end to end ecommerce web development.
- Focus Point [Digital Library and Study Space]: Along with founder Mukesh Sonkar (a frontend engineer)and I (as a full stack developer) build platform (library marketplace). The Focuspoint serve as marketplace for both library owner and students. Library owner can list their library and students can find the best library as per their need in nearby
OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTIONS

updated src/peft/utils/other.py in the set_additional_trainable_modules() and _get_module_names_tied_with_embedding() functions to respect the model config and also create test file
Conduct experiement with finetuning, benchmarking the LLaMA-Adapter (adaptation_prompt) for Conversation AI and Math reasoning. I configured custom adapter config and training parameter with the Llama-3.2-3B model, ran multiple training pipelines on the MetaMathQA dataset, and evaluated its memory efficiency, accuracy, loss and reasoning retention against baseline methods to provide benchmarked result to community.

Version 1.3.5 ships builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can also run from source on any platform with Node.js installed.
Audio Augment | Audio Changer Studio
A very simple and fast audio editing studio that works with great precision. It has been designed and developed for content creators to edit their audio at their fingertips without any hassle.
User upload an MP3 or WAV and get professional cleaned and edited audio. It provide two independent processing stages: Noise Removal and Audio Augmentation
RESEARCH PROJECTS
AushadhiNet-GATv2 DDI Model
Dataset use: Drug Interaction Data (Training): ddis, drug_smiles, drug_names, ddi_type_mapping CVD Patient Data (Validation): cardio_base 70,000 patient record
Research CLI Agent (Hybrid RAG)
command-line research agent I built to tackle the engineering problems of reliable agentic systems. The project intentionally emphasizes runtime correctness, observability, failure containment, and evaluation over frontend development. The agent work in CLI, receive a input with different
--flags commands and spawns workers bounded loop and ultimately researched and provided relevant response.
Flow:model proposal → typed decision parser → tool registry and schema validation → policy and budget checks → tool execution → structured observation → validation → result OR next bounded decision
Provenance: Production ML Agent to tests upstream data changes in pipeline
The runner mutates an isolated evaluation copy and compares model behavior. Numeric policy—not an LLM—returns PASS, WARNING, or BLOCK. Provenance saves JSON and Markdown evidence and publishes the result to DataHub.
GLC Platform | Loan Assesement
The "GLC Platform" provides a uniform platform for both borrowers and lenders, incorporating a compliance/monitoring framework that applies from loan origination throughout the entire life cycle of Green Loan Principles (GLP) and the LMA framework. It also offers services such as loan data resolution, loan assessment, sustainability checks, key stakeholder evaluation, loan balance sheet generation, and AI-assisted advice. This helps both borrowers and lenders reduce pressure, streamline processes, improve communication, and maintain compliance + reporting.
