About me

Krishna loves transforming lines of code into powerful real-world systems. He pursues a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, under the guidance of Prof. Prashant Shenoy. His research interests include Machine Learning and AI systems, distributed cloud and edge computing. He is also the holder of an M.S. degree in Computer Science from UMass Amherst and a B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

Beyond research, he spends his time in learing how data and technology drive modelling for real-time decisions and pricing. What captivates him is a strong interest in financial markets and the union of his love for mathematics and programming. Check out Quant.

Outside of work:

Krishna is a regularly active individual who works out daily and loves to play a lot of sports - it’s a great way to unwind and helps him stay sharp and build resilience both physically and mentally. Lesser known fact, he has played field hockey, badminton, and table tennis competitively. However, more recently, he’s been enjoying playing basketball in the evenings at the gym.

In addition, he has a lifelong passion for music. Music has always been a creative outlet for him, offering both a meditative focus and a powerful way to express emotion and rhythm. He has dedicated over six years to earning a diploma in Hindustani music and can play several instruments – piano/keyboard, guitar, sitar, tabla, and drums are a notable few.
