I am currently a Research Intern at Microsoft Research India, where I work with Anand Iyer on systems that enable efficient machine learning over large graphs.
In the past, I have also worked with Bhargav Gulavani and Karthik Ramachandra from Microsoft Research India on overcoming performance regressions in scalar UDF inlined queries in SQL Server.
Not so long ago, I completed Masters (by Research) in Computer and Data Systems from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), where I was advised by Yogesh Simmhan.
At IISc, my research focused on distributed system software which leverage specialized abstraction and optimizations to accelerate the convergence time of temporal graph algorithms.
