I am a first year PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am broadly interested in systems and security.

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 blockchains.

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?
