I’ve graduated from the International Institute of Information Technology - Hyderabad and will be starting my professional career at Databricks. My interests span performance optimization, algorithms research, compilers, quantitative finance and competitive programming. I’ve contributed to projects on implementing C++ stdlib experimental extensions and worked on optimizing BLAS and bio-informatics algorithms like Needleman-Wunsch and the STAR DNA sequence aligner.

Lately, I’ve been exploring options pricing theory and ML theory. I intermittently write up my thoughts and notes on things I’ve learnt in my blog. If you are interested in my work, or would like to casually chat about research or CP or one of my other interests, feel free to reach out to me!
