About

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with a keen interest in Computer Science and Mathematics. My top 3 qualities are technical rigour, crisp communication and impactful decision making with stakeholder collaboration. My top skills outside the professional domain are racquet sports, writing and team leadership. I currently work on engineering solutions for personalised user recommendations at Google. I am also skilled at software development for systematic commodity trading, with a focus on cutting-edge market data APIs, interaction with SQL/MERN stack and Python trading systems. My main academic interests are Compiler Design, Algorithms and Automata Theory. My undergraduate research project on Compiler Design focused on object-related optimisations in Java. I enjoy being part of a team and contributing to novel ideation and process improvement from the grass-root level.

Software Engineer III

Aug 2024 – Present · 1 yr 7 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

Software Engineer 2 (internally L4) in the Kansas Team, of the Core Data organization. Kansas is a globally available high-latency key-value store that offers data freshness and optimal storage for personalization of user data profiles.
Onboarded rapidly, identifying and correcting usages of Kansas test servers across various client tests within my first quarter.
Contributed significantly to the migration of Moana (Google’s internal offering for personalized profile building) to Kansas, by migrating many corpora and documenting Moana usage for clients in detail. This saved nearly 30PB of HDD usage, and improved model training time by 65%.
Migrated Moana-sourced user contribution data to Kansas using an in-house Data migration design based on CDC and postwrite server notifications. This built on the previous migration and improved model quality due to data freshness.
Designed an approach for data quality improvements on Moana corpuses, which increased data availability by 10% for 200M+ users.
