Hi, I'm Manish. I co-founded Parafield and I'm its Chief Scientist. We make spatial audio for audiobooks and audio stories. I also work on machine learning for health: a foundation model for fMRI, DeepTracer’s protein diffusion model, medical language models, and the benchmarks and RL environments we test them with.

Co-author of two ICML 2026 papers and one at NeurIPS 2026. The University of Washington gave me its Undergraduate Research Excellence Award for reaching ICML before graduating. -
Contributed to CortexMAE, an fMRI foundation model on Vision Transformers that decodes cognitive states in real time. -
Built an RL environment on Prime Intellect that cut medical LLM hallucinations by 20–24%, by checking every claim in an answer. -
Kosmos: free, open-source software for narrators, with mastering, a teleprompter, and spelling and pronunciation checks. Our first customer uses it. -
Led training and evaluation of DeepTracer’s protein diffusion model (IEEE BIBM 2026 workshop), and got UW’s Undergraduate Leadership and Service Award for it. -
Pull requests to Swift, Turborepo, Vercel’s Chat SDK, Backstage, NASA’s F´ and AWS Powertools. -
In grade 9, part of a Guinness World Record: the most people completing an online programming lesson in 24 hours. Top 5% in India’s national STEM boards, twice.
