I am a final year grad student at IIIT Bangalore, pursuing Integrated M.Tech. (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering. My interests lie in core Software Engineering, Graph Theory, Distributed Systems, and Blockchain protocols. I am also passionate about and like working on projects in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and the applications of AI in real life. I have previously worked as an EDG Intern at MathWorks, where I worked on a re-design of the report generated by the Simulink Model Advisor. The project involved using the MATLAB Report Generator to dynamically generate and display the PDF, DOCX, and HTML reports. I have also worked as a Research Intern at the NSM Nodal Center, IIT Madras, where my project involved developing the initial stages of an algorithm utilising multiple GPU cores to accelerate sparse Deep Neural Networks, by parallelizing the inference process. My previous experiences also involve working as a research intern at the Software Engineering Lab at IIITB, where we worked on a solution for the Application Processing Problem. I was also a Tezos India Fellow, where I worked on a decentralized cryptocurrency safekeeping application on top of the Tezos blockchain, that enables safe and transparent transfer of digital assets to predefined accounts in unprecedented scenarios like loss of private keys or user demise. I have also previously worked as an affiliate at the Web Science Lab at IIITB where I developed a Capacity Based Access Control portal for the Indian Urban Data Exchange (IUDX). I also like developing web applications and contributing to open source projects. Apart from that, I like playing and following football (ardent FC Barcelona fan!), chess, and badminton. I also like reading novels, mostly fiction and thriller (am currently reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins!).
