About

I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, under the guidance of Prof. Prashant Shenoy. As part of the Laboratory for Advanced System Software (LASS), I am currently working on the design of failure-aware model serving systems for Foundation Models. More broadly, my research interests include Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Inference and training, fault-tolerance and resource management on the Edge/IoT.

Prior to this, I have 2.5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer at multiple firms including Deskera, Publicis Sapient and Boeing. I earned my Master’s degree in Computer Science from UMass Amherst in 2024, and my Bachelor’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) in 2020.
