About SomyaJump to section titled About Somya

Applied scientist, builder & writer. I tend to my digital garden here.

I design and build ML systems for better thinking. Currently at Relativity in Vancouver, where I work at the intersection of AI and legal technology. Before this, I spent years exploring NLP, building products, and learning how to make human-centered tools.

I studied at IIT Guwahati, where my curiosity about computation and cognition first took root. Since then, I've been fortunate to work on problems that sit at the edge of what machines can understand about human language and intent.

Current FocusJump to section titled Current Focus

Things I'm tending to these days:

  • AI & Feedback — How do we build systems that genuinely learn from the people using them?
  • Nia Project — A personal project exploring context and attention
  • Systems & Learning — Understanding how complex systems evolve and adapt

A winding path through the garden:

2025 - PresentJump to section titled 2025 - Present

Nia & AI Work

Stepping back from management to return to building. Exploring the edges of AI engineering, writing about what I learn, and tending this digital garden.

2020 - 2024Jump to section titled 2020 - 2024

NLP & Product

Deep work in natural language processing and legal technology. Three patents for systems that help machines understand legal documents. Building products that bridge human intent and machine capability.

BeforeJump to section titled Before

Engineering & ML Foundations

Computer science at IIT Guwahati. Early explorations in machine learning, distributed systems, and the fundamentals that everything else grows from. Research on emotion in online communities and medical image analysis.

ElsewhereJump to section titled Elsewhere

This site is built with Moss, a quiet little static site generator. It's part of my digital garden — a place for ideas to grow at their own pace.
