About Me
Reasoning-first AI/ML researcher and engineer.
I am Kanishk Paul, a B.Tech Computer Science student at Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata, building at the edge of AI systems, agentic workflows, symbolic reasoning, and the philosophy of intelligence.
My work sits where research and shipping meet: local inference, reasoning tools, browser agents, symbolic ARC-style systems, and products that turn model capability into leverage. I care about machines that can reason better, act better, and make their internal structure easier to inspect.
