About

I have a Masters in Mathematics and Bachelors in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani, Goa Campus. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in computer science, electronics, and AI. I am currently designing chiplet-based accelerator for Stateful Neural Networks as my current research project with Prof Kunal Korgaonkar. I work as a CPU Performance Engineer at Qualcomm, where my role is to ensure CPU subsystem in latest Qualcomm chips are at par with market standards. I am passionate about learning new things and applying them to real-world problems. I am open to opportunities in the Software and Hardware Software Co-Design Space. I get to write tons of low-level code on High-Performance Systems. I like programming in languages like C and C++.
