About

I am a Software Engineer at Microsoft, working in the Mariner Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) team. I work on building the OS and platform services that support the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) workload for Azure-for-Operators at Edge locations. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. My PhD dissertation research has been on investigating the right mechanisms required by latency-sensitive situation-awareness applications when deployed on a geo-distributed Edge infrastructure. I am interested in working on systems issues in emerging technologies such as Edge Computing, Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles and drones.

Software Engineer II

Sep 2022 – Mar 2024 · 1 yr 6 mos

Goal: Developing and strengthening the system software stack for Azure Operator Nexus, a cutting-edge platform transforming the Mobile Edge Computing landscape.
With a focus on enhancing performance and enabling seamless network function virtualization, my work focuses on hardening the Nexus product. I an in charge of building extensive end-to-end testing infrastructure to ensure its robustness and reliability. By developing comprehensive test suites, I am validating the interaction of various Kubernetes-based services, paving the way for a flexible and performant virtualization stack. To streamline testing processes, I have harnessed the power of the LISA testing framework and Azure DevOps pipelines, driving automated testing and accelerating delivery cycles.

May 2018 – Aug 2018 · 3 mos · New Jersey, USA

Objective: To develop a power minimization technique for black-box Virtualized Network Functions (NFV). * Used CPU performance counters to characterize the utilization of network function instances.
Used Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling to tune processing speed and power consumption of black-box network functions.
Developed a frequency scaling heuristic that minimizes power consumption while providing tail-latency bounds on packet processing.
