CV

Research Assistant

Filesystems and Storage Lab (FSL)

Studying various information-theoretically secure schemes that are secure against computationally unbounded adversaries, to verify the integrity of data stored on archival systems (systems storing data for atleast the average lifetime of a human)

Software Engineer III (Backend)

Cisco

I was the founding member of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Analytics India team. As a backend engineer, I focused on developing, maintaining, and monitoring ETL/ELT pipelines to extract insightful information from terabytes of SD-WAN telemetry data. Additionally, I developed novel features to empower network administrators to analyze essential aspects of their SD-WAN fabric.

Software Engineer Intern

Cisco

Led a team of 2 to build an MVP of automated log analysis tool for anomaly detection by fine-tuning BERT with a hierarchical transformer model on 10M+ logs.

Software Engineer (Fullstack)

Cleartax

As a full-stack developer, I improved the user experience, scalability, and availability of the tax filing web application, the most popular product in the company's portfolio. I also developed tools for enhanced developer productivity and deployment efficiency.

Python and Machine Learning Instructor

Acadview

Guided a batch of 20 undergraduate students to improve their employability by delivering project-based training on Python fundamentals and machine learning algorithms. Received a full-time offer as a consequence of positive students' rating.

Research Intern

Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology

Improved the performance of a driverless car's lane detection and tracking system by 30% by experimenting with different techniques including Hough transforms, Mahalanobis distance functions, Kalman filters etc. Created a new dataset by recording, cleaning, and labelling dashcam videos.

Innovate Everywhere

Cisco

Awarded for designing and implementing a real-time system to compute SDWAN’s data plane availability from SDWAN telemetry data

PBFT consensus protocol implementation

Implemented normal case operation, view change routine, and checkpointing mechanism of linear-PBFT to deploy a simple banking application wherein clients send transactions to cluster having malicious some servers. Optimizations include optimistic phase reduction.

• C++
• CMake
• Protocol buffer
• gRPC
• SQLite
• ECDSA
• MAC signatures

Distributed Transactions Processing

Implemented 2-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol on top of a simplified Paxos implementation to process distributed transactions within a shared cluster. Implemented locking and write-ahead logging (WAL) at servers to prevent concurrent transaction execution and to record transaction metadata before preparing for, committing, or aborting a transaction.

• 2-phase commit
• Paxos consensus protocol
• Distributed System
• LevelDB

5-stage RISC-V processor

Designed and implemented a 5-stage pipelined RISCV processor supporting RV64-IM ISA along with direct-mapping caching. Added support for data forwarding, hazard detection, and branch prediction in the pipeline.
