## Profile

I'm building and experimenting with AI, mostly around consumer software. I'm interested in how people interact with it and what it takes for agents to do useful work on their behalf.

Outside work, I read crime thrillers, listen to a lot of music, travel when I can, and play video games.

## Research

During his undergraduate studies at BITS Pilani, Goa, Arihant worked with Dr. Arnab K. Paul on UnifyFL. UnifyFL explored federated learning without a central coordinator and was published at ACM Middleware 2025.
