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 system for Foundation Models. More broadly, my research interests include Machine Learning and Artifical Intelligence, Distributed Inference and training, fault-tolerance and resource management on the Edge/IoT.

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

I’m actively looking for research internships for Summer 2027 — feel free to reach out!
