I am a doctoral student in the computer science department where I work with Professor Matt Welsh. I indulge in systems research for the most part and perhaps one day, when I grow up, I shall build reliable systems. Click here for my research work. My work is supported by a Microsoft Research Fellowship.

Prior to moving to Cambridge, I spent a few years in “gorges” Ithaca attending Cornell. To me, the Newman Arboretum, the gothics and sunset drive are the highlights of the Cornell campus. At Cornell, I was part of the syslab fraternity during my junior and senior years. Prior to Ithaca, I grew up in Bangalore, India where I attended Bishop Cotton Boys’ School from the lower kindergarten to standard 12.

I spend a significant fraction of my time on research and teaching. I spend my spare time reading, fencing, and playing squash. I am very interested in science, mathematics, history, theology, game theory and higher education reforms. To that effect, I am attempting to maintain a partial list of books I have read (or re-read) in the recent past (in chronological order). I also maintain the Harvard graduate dormitory council website. And I have just begun to aggregate my favourite quotes.

Inspired by Lillian Lee’s thesis progress meter, I (used to) maintain a daily log.
