My interests lie in the intersection of privacy and cloud-native systems. Recently, I graduated with my Masters degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a focus on big data systems. 

I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering in 2021, after which I worked as a Software Engineer at Walmart Global Tech in the Order Management Systems team. There, I was exposed to user-facing systems that handled large amounts of legacy data and captured business logic. Keen on exploring the developments in systems that consumed this data, I moved to MongoDB in the capacity of a Software Engineer in the Data Platform Engineering team. At MongoDB, I gained all-round experience building core data management systems, also scratching the surface of systems for Machine Learning (ML). Much of my enthusiasm for distributed systems in the cloud is a result of this experience. 

I believe that I thrive in environments that challenge my ability to innovate. I enjoy investing my time in creative outlets. I use my ability to gadget and draw straight lines (sometimes) to indulge in graphic designing, digital art, photography, and painting. I love to read and I'm always up for a good old retelling of family and friendship. And even though it requires immense courage, occasionally, I write.
