About Aarya Bookseller

Engineering systems.
Researching models.

I'm a software engineer and deep learning researcher from Surat, India, studying computer science at Texas A&M.

I build reliable full stack systems and research bilevel optimization, implicit differentiation, and GPU scale experimentation.

My work has been published at NeurIPS 2025. I care about models that work and systems that hold up.

Operating style

Deep dives across software, models, and systems.

I study the model, data, interface, and infrastructure as one system. I want to know why it works, where it fails, and whether people can use it.

Computer science gives me leverage. Machine learning models complex behavior. Physics and statistics sharpen how I reason about uncertainty.

My Principles (How I Work)
  1. 01 Start simple. Build the smallest honest baseline and improve it with evidence.
  2. 02 Reproduce everything. Keep scripts, seeds, configs, and assumptions with the code.
  3. 03 Engineer for scale. Use clear APIs, tests, and observability.
  4. 04 Explain the tradeoffs. Show why a route or model was chosen.
  5. 05 Keep it legible. Make code, docs, and UX easy to extend.
