About

I am a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Arizona and an M.S. Computer Science student, passionate about large-scale data systems, data engineering, and DevOps. With 2 years of industry experience at Zomato and Brane Enterprises, I have built and scaled real-time analytics systems, distributed pipelines, and cloud-native services, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and scalability. My expertise spans Python, Go, C/C++, Apache Kafka, Spark, Pinot, AWS, Docker, Ray, gRPC, MongoDB, and SQL. Key highlights: 🏆 Best Paper Award (COMSNETS 2024) for TEFAR, an efficient encryption system for secure big data storage. 🚀 Built a real-time mobile analytics platform using Apache Spark and Pinot, delivering sub-50ms query latency with 30-minute update intervals. ⚡ Built scalable LLM services and APIs with autoscaling on AWS, reducing costs and improving performance. I enjoy solving problems at the intersection of data engineering, distributed systems, and DevOps, and I’m eager to contribute to teams building scalable, high-impact data platforms. 💡 Actively seeking full-time opportunities in Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Distributed Systems, or DevOps for Summer 2026.
