About

I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur with a Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering. I am interested in Algorithmic Trading, Optimization, Databases, Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. Writing high-quality, modular and generic code excites me. This is what I have been doing for quite a while now as a Software Engineer at AWS. I mostly work with SQL, C++, Python and Functional Languages but I can easily learn and adapt to other languages and technologies (given that they are well documented). In the past, I have worked with Rust as well and it's something I'm super-interested in. I am always looking for interesting opportunities in related domains.

Worked with the Natural Computation Group and assisted in designing algorithms for rendering biomolecular nanostructures.
Developed a Modelling Tool and a rendering algorithm capable of modelling fairly complex DNA Nanomolecules. An interesting problem I faced was rendering a DNA strand-graph with minimum crossovers. For this, I used a spring relaxation model along with a CMA-ES optimizer.
