About

I am a Senior Software Engineer at NVIDIA in the DGX Server Software team. I recently graduated from Georgia Tech with Masters degree in Computational Science and Engineering, specializing in distributed systems. Prior to this, I spent 4 years as a Software Engineer at NVIDIA, shipping low-latency autonomous driving solutions and crafting cloud-based software. The complexity of constructing a robust system presents multifaceted challenges, and I thrive on tackling them head-on. My professional journey has revolved around building performant software from scratch, prioritizing scalability, low-latency, and tinkering with lower-level abstractions. My skill set includes Python, C/C++, React, JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD. My primary interests encompass Databases, Distributed Systems, HPC and Machine Learning. Balancing my work life, I find joy in calisthenics and weightlifting. Feel free to connect with me for further insights.

Software Engineer II

Jul 2020 – Jul 2023 · 3 yrs

Worked across NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) and DriveOS verticals to build scalable and low-latency software.
Developed end-to-end features for the NGC NDash platform and handled deployment of production Kubernetes clusters for the bring-up of NVIDIA Forge (Iac).
Led the development of a scalable CI/CD-as-a-service platform and KPI dashboards to monitor source code health for various modules of DriveOS. This system decreased the debugging time by more than 90% and led to successful automotive safety assessments.
Worked on the development of NVIDIA's Camera Control Protocol (NvCCP) software module for automotive safety assessments, shipped to clients like Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. Involved in design, implementation, static analysis, and end-to-end verification of the module.
