About

I am a Software Engineer at Amazon, which runs one of the largest logistics operations around the world. I work to develop high-quality, scaled-out solutions to power this beast. Previously, I worked hands-on at Rippling to build payment systems transferring over $13B per year. At Goldman Sachs I worked in the electronic trading team, writing low-level no GC java and C++ to develop robust solutions driving alpha and seeking liquidity for our clients (Algo node, SOR - Smart Order Routing etc). I completed my undergraduate studies at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi in 2018. I had an AIR (All India Rank) of 64 amongst 1.5 million aspirants in JEE '14 to secure a seat at this prestigious university. I am highly driven and believe in continuous learning to acquire new skills and perspectives. I am proficient in Java, C++, and Python. I am enthusiastic about operating systems, applications of machine learning in natural language processing and computer vision, distributed algorithms and finance, and love to engage in conversations relating to these subjects.
