About

I am currently working as a software engineer for the S3 Storage team creating scalable solutions for cloud storage. I did a summer internship at Aloft Appraisal in Seattle. I developed a tool for evaluating the price of an appraisal order based on the complexity of the property and generating a bid which reduced the time required for bidding for appraisal orders by 80%. Prior to this, I worked at Morgan Stanley for 3 years in the Collateral team of the Global Banking Technology department. I was involved in multiple projects that encompassed the development of the loan estimation application, setting up Big Data Analytics pipelines, and migrating our batch applications to a distributed computing architecture. The most notable deliverable was building a new framework for batch applications using Apache Spark that used a directed acyclic graph for process scheduling and spring annotations for all resource connections. This led to time savings to the extent of 90% when compared to the previous setup. I was awarded the Global Technology Excellence Award for my contributions to the firm. I have an undergraduate degree in Information Technology from IIIT Allahabad, India during which I pursued multiple research projects in the Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics domains. I also published two papers for the same.
