Open to new opportunities

Hi, I’m Navneet.

Software Engineer & Researcher

I design and build reliable, user-focused software and explore research ideas that make technology more useful — from clean interfaces to the systems that power them.

About me

Who I am

Navneet

Software Engineer · City, Country

I’m a software engineer who enjoys turning complex problems into simple, dependable products. I care about clean architecture, thoughtful user experience and code that’s a pleasure to maintain.

My work sits where engineering meets research: I like digging into how things work, prototyping ideas quickly and hardening the best ones into systems people rely on. Outside of work I contribute to open source, read papers and keep learning new tools.

Efficient Fine-Tuning Strategies for Domain-Specific Language Models

Navneet, A. Collaborator, B. Advisor

PDF Code
Abstract

We study parameter-efficient methods for adapting large language models to specialised domains with limited labelled data, and show that careful adapter design recovers most of the quality of full fine-tuning at a fraction of the training cost.

Journal Journal Name, Vol. 12, No. 3 2024

Scalable Scheduling for Heterogeneous Compute Clusters

A. Researcher, Navneet, B. Advisor

PDF DOI
Abstract

We present a scheduler that places mixed CPU and GPU workloads across heterogeneous clusters, improving utilisation and job completion times on traces from a shared research cluster.

Preprint arXiv preprint 2024

Evaluating the Robustness of Retrieval-Augmented Generation Pipelines

Navneet, C. Collaborator

arXiv Code
Abstract

We introduce a benchmark of realistic perturbations — noisy documents, conflicting sources and adversarial queries — and use it to measure how retrieval-augmented generation systems fail, along with simple mitigations.
