Experience
Member of Research Staff
Zoho
Systematically identified and articulated patentable novelty across multiple paradigms, including compiler design, AI/ML systems, software architecture, programming language constructs, and product feature modeling.
Elevated the quality and defensibility of Zoho patent filings by reframing problem statements into core technical abstractions, enabling clearer claim boundaries and stronger prior-art differentiation.
Designed novel system architectures and frameworks by unifying concepts from static analysis, runtime optimization, learning-based inference, and modular product design.
Led the technical novelty analysis phase for patent drafting by mapping ideas across algorithmic, architectural, and language-level innovations, significantly improving claim breadth and depth.
Translated complex research ideas into formal patent specifications, including claims, embodiments, and system diagrams, for filings in both US and Indian patent offices.
Collaborated with product and legal teams to refine invention disclosures, ensuring alignment between engineering feasibility, product impact, and patentability.
Managed Research, Development, Business and Legal aspect of the products and maintained the pipeline from ideation till production.
