About

I have passed out from IIT Kanpur with a bachelors in Electrical and Computer Science Engineering. Currently I am working in tech industry and building monitoring infrastructure at Databricks. I am an avid reader and have varied interests across deep technology, finance, history, psychology and economics. I love to solve challenging problems across domains of technology and businesses. I have a strong foundation in lower level systems like hardware, kernel, assembly, compilers and databases. And can quickly adapt to any new technology and work on building large scale systems. I have research experience in systems, security , machine learning, computer graphics etc. I am also skilled in fundamental analysis, trading and valuations in finance domain. Have deep interest in understanding business models and how to make them performant. Feel free to ping me. Always open to discussions.

Systems security research Intern

Mar 2024 – Dec 2024 · 9 mos · Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany · On-site

Worked on novel microarchitectural attacks exploiting kernel code using malicious peripherals. Reviewed several attacks like Prime+Probe, Evict+Reload side channels, spectre, meltdown, rowhammer to come up with a novel side channel attack during the internship.
Tackled challenges related to reverse engineering cache policies, reducing kernel noise, performance optimizations to make the attack practical.
Demonstrated novel covert channel attacks which can leak bits in a practical setting. Research got published in top tier conference in security ESORICS 2025
