About

I am a CS undergrad from IIT Kharagpur (batch of 2021). My primary field of interest is programming language design and data structures, particularly hash tables and hashing schemes. I intend to work in Systems Engineering and Computer Networks. I do Competitive Programming for the thrill of solving problems. I am also an open-source enthusiast and love contributing to a variety of projects. I am a language enthusiast, and always seek to learn new languages at will.

Julia Season of Contributions(JSoC)

May 2019 – Aug 2019 · 3 mos

Selected for contributing to Julia under JSoC , as a supplement for Google Summer of Code(GSoC) funded by NumFocus, at The Julia Language.
My work mainly consisted of creating a dictionary which operates under Robin Hood hashing scheme. In addition to this, I had to test my dictionary code thoroughly and ensure sufficient coverage. In the process also, I benchmarked my implementation against the present Julia implementation.
My work resides in JuliaCollections/DataStructures.jl. Read the attached blogpost for a detailed explanation of my work
