I now work at Virtu Financial as a Core Developer. We build low-latency infrastructure to trade across the world.

I recently graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a master's in computer science, where I was advised by Aditya Akella on formal verification of schedulers. Before this, I completed my B.Tech. in computer science from IIT Bombay, India. For my senior-year thesis, I worked with Supratik Chakraborty and Amitabha Sanyal on translation validation techniques for optimizing compilers.

I have interned at Netflix, Uber, startups, and a crypto high-frequency trading firm as a software developer, and worked on a range of problems including optimizing workflow orchestrators, market making infrastructure, and earth-scale IFTTT systems. I also visited TU Braunschweig in summer 2019, where I was advised by Thomas Deserno and we worked on designing algorithms and a system for crowdsourcing image segmentation.
