Profile

I’m an ophthalmologist serving as Senior Resident at Andhra Medical College, one of India’s oldest teaching hospitals. High-volume public practice has given me broad exposure to the eye diseases that drive vision loss at scale, and it is the retinal ones, diabetic retinopathy and macular disease above all, that I want to dedicate my career to.

I completed a three-year ophthalmology residency at Narayana Medical College, Nellore, after earning my MBBS at Government Medical College, Anantapur. My training included cataract and anterior segment surgery. I’m certified in Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare by Cleveland Clinic, and medical retina is where that interest leads: retinal imaging is where AI is reshaping screening and diagnosis fastest.

I’m seeking a medical retina fellowship in the United States, in a program open to international medical graduates. If your program or lab works in medical retina or AI in retinal imaging, I’d welcome a conversation.
