I am a second year PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison working with Prof. Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau and Prof. Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau. I am broadly interested in systems and security.

In the balmy summer of '22, I worked at Microsoft Research with Badrish Chandramouli on optimal I/O utilization for systems that use FASTER.

Before this, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research, India with Satya Lokam, Muthian Sivathanu, Nishanth Chandran and Divya Gupta where I worked on building a new lightweight blockchain protocol.

I had a short stint in the industry working at Tower Research Capital managing their build tools and interned at Google in their Enterprise team. Prior to that, I built and broke stuff in hackathons and CTFs.

What drives me

• Systems – distributed systems, large-(web/data)-scale systems.
• Security & Privacy – can we build provably secure systems while minimizing TCB?
