Hi! :) I'm an MSCS (Master of Science in Computer Science) student at CMU, specializing in Systems. I'm interested in designing and building core systems - Distributed Systems, Operating Systems and Database Systems - to support compute, storage and ML. Previously, I specialized in Artificial Intelligence (focusing on Computer Vision and Robotics). I love to create exciting things at the boundaries of what technology is capable of.Systems experience:I have experience in multiple levels of the systems stack: kernel development and operating systems internals, database internals, distributed storage systems, LSM storage, low-level systems (building thread libraries and low-level memory management) and compiler internals. One pending patent. AI experience:I have two years of research experience in: computer vision, robotics, deep learning, and information retrieval. Two publications.
A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
San Francisco, California, United States
- Devised a novel algorithm to track hot data regions accessed by millions of queries across nodes using LSM scan keys.- Enhanced the merge step of LSM tree storage to purge old data in hot regions, reducing query execution time by 30%.- Submitting a patent on the enhanced merge algorithm and extensions to the tracking pipeline for smarter data purging..
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
- Built a robust error detection system to diagnose DNS and network connectivity issues in Azure Cloud Storage Nodes, thereby preventing internal connectivity errors from bubbling up to the client.- The system has been deployed on millions of nodes and is expected to reduce node downtime by 0.001% (notable at scale).
Remote
- Implemented a portion of the communication pipeline of MoonRanger, an autonomous NASA lunar rover.- Designed software to pack Mission Control commands into CCSDS Space Packets for efficient transmission to the rover.- Unpacked raw rover health and telemetry byte streams into structured data for Ground Control analysis on Earth.- Integrated a data.
Hyderabad, Telangana, India
- Using SLAM principles, developed the navigation system of an autonomous washroom cleaning robot in ROS and Gazebo. The robot’s cleaning ability, tested in a real washroom environment, won my team 2nd place in the national Indian Institute of Science (IISc) ARTPARK Robotics Challenge.- Designed a convolutional encoder-decoder architecture to 3D.
Remote
- Developed an accident prevention module for autonomous vehicles that estimates trajectories of oncoming motorbikes and brakes on predicting a collision.- To ensure the system’s robustness, tested crash scenarios on simulators to diagnose catastrophic failures.- Integrated the module into the vehicle’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) System, modelling.
Hyderabad, Telangana, India
- Led the StartUp Aid mentorship program to help student entrepreneurs start up. 2 teams secured funds from investors.- Core organizer of Asia’s 2nd-ever FAIL! Talks (pioneered at MIT), acting as a point of contact with invited speakers.
Remote
- Using agile methodology, worked in a team to design, build, test, and deploy a streamlined tree-planting portal for an environmental NGO.- Built the portal’s entire backend infrastructrure, database schema and API endpoints using REST principles.- Created a reward system linked to social media to incentivize tree-planting and boost returning users.
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
- Designed and created the company website for Mastering Phonics, encompassing frontend, backend, middleware (email and payment services), and database schema. Used Figma for UI/UX design.- Analyzed website traffic and used Search Engine Optimization (SEO) design methods to improve click-through rate.
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
- Devised and implemented a pipeline to integrate voice-activated commands into smart vehicles using Natural Language Processing techniques.- Tested the pipeline in a real vehicle, providing voice commands to increase or decrease radio volume, change the radio station, modify the temperature of the AC, and open or close the sunroof.- The module will be.
