About me
I'm a Software Engineer at Qualcomm working on LLM systems and multi-agent GenAI, and I'll be joining NYU Courant for my M.S. in Computer Science in August 2026.
At Qualcomm I built Code Buddy, a multi-agent code-review platform that runs across 2,500+ repositories for 1,400+ engineers, saving around 100,000 engineer-hours a month. I also designed the RAG pipeline behind it, cutting inference latency by 75%, and built an agentic tool that reads live C/C++ modem source to run 4G/5G NAS protocol tests without any hardcoded answers.
On the side I've been building on-device AI: CabinAI, a 7-agent driver monitoring system for cars; MyAI, an Android assistant that runs a quantized LLM fully on the phone with no internet permission; and HealthSense, a small foundation model that fuses five biosignals on a wearable to detect cardiac and stress conditions in real time. All three were presented at SparQ Qualcomm TechFest 2026, where CabinAI placed in the Top 5.
Before Qualcomm I interned at AMD and Standard Chartered, founded the AR/VR Lab at BITS Pilani, and did a research stint at TU Braunschweig on a DAAD Scholarship.
My Interests
-
Artificial Intelligence & LLM Systems
At Qualcomm I built Code Buddy, a multi-agent LLM code-review platform serving 1,400+ engineers, and an agentic tool that drives 4G/5G NAS protocol tests by reasoning over live modem source code. On the side I built three on-device AI systems: CabinAI (7-agent driver-monitoring VLA for cars), MyAI (privacy-first Android assistant running a quantized LLM on the Hexagon NPU with zero internet permission), and HealthSense (5.4M-param multimodal foundation model detecting cardiac and stress conditions from wearable biosignals).

Augmented Reality
Recipient of the prestigious DAAD Scholarship, developed a Mixed Reality application on HoloLens to visualize complex LCA data. As the founding President of Kalipatnapu AR/VR Lab, BITS Pilani, led a team of 40 students on various AR/VR projects and hosted a VR Experience Zone during Oasis, generating profits exceeding ₹40,000.
-
App Development
Designed and developed several mobile applications using Flutter during internships, including: FloraFast: A plant delivery app, Adoption App: For connecting users with adoptable dogs, Live Train Tracker: For real-time train status updates, iWorksLab: A food delivery app, Notes and Weather App
-
Cellular Networks
At Qualcomm, contributed to the NAS (Non-Access Stratum) layer for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) and LTE (4G) architecture by implementing critical features and resolving high-priority customer issues.
-
DevOps
Received the CCIB SCPAY Award for leading the migration of continuous integration systems from Jenkins to Azure DevOps. This transition improved scalability, reliability, and reduced deployment times.
-
Game Development
Created a water conservation game for NCERT and developed other games like UNO and 3D survival games as part of academic projects.

Subhash Kunnoth
Senior Manager, AMD
During Varun's internship at AMD, I had the pleasure of working with him closely. Throughout his 6 months time here, Varun consistently showcased excellent programming skills and a good knack for problem-solving. He automated intricate workflows, bringing in efficiency improvements in processes. He employed multithreaded scripting and effective load balancing to solve some the challenges. Varun's innovative solutions underscored his robust technical proficiency and capacity to deliver superior outcomes. Varun is a dedicated and skilled professional, and I confidently endorse him for roles demanding advanced programming expertise and creative problem-solving abilities.
