Biography

title

I am a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University under Prof. Anthony Rowe. My research interests currently span edge systems, compilers, and operating systems. In particular, I am focused on pushing the system's infrastructure of emerging low-level virtualization solutions (WebAssembly) into edge cyber-physical systems. I completed my B.S in ECE at UT Austin, with a focus in computer architeture and embedded systems.

I often engross myself in personal projects, hackathons, and engineering endaevors. A notable mention is a fully-functional in-house out-of-order RISC-V core I designed with custom perfomance-enhancing extensions to the ISA. A more detailed list of my personal projects can be found here

Career goals aside, I am an outdoorsy person with an interest in sports like surfing, trekking, and climbing. Music is a fairly great escape into my artistic side. Culturally, as an Indian-American with a mixed bag of cultural exposure, I hope to absorb and embrace the best parts of both.
