Meta

Engineering at scale across full-stack product, machine learning, and generative-AI pipeline work. Public-safe summary — internal project names and metrics stay internal.

early direction embodied ai / spatial memory

SpatialMind

Where I'm heading in embodied AI: an open-source spatial-memory layer for AI agents — persistent, queryable maps of physical space, so an agent that has seen a room can reason about it later. Early-stage and unshipped — a problem being framed, not a product.

Both halves

I build machines that understand space — and chase the light they can't compute.

I'm Subham — a software engineer at Meta working across full-stack, ML, and generative-AI pipelines, with a research background in human-robot interaction from USC's ICAROS Lab. I think in systems; I recharge where systems can't reach — behind a camera at first light, or on a motorcycle in the mountains. This site is both halves: circuits, with roots growing through them.
