About

I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Netflix, working on the Model Inference Platform. It's the system that serves ML predictions across Netflix for things like recommendations, search, ads, and personalization.

Before Netflix, I spent four years at Amazon building distributed systems. I also built Amazon Gather on the side during the pandemic - a virtual events platform that got picked up across the company and ended up winning me the Just Do It Award from Jeff Bezos. Before that, I was at Morgan Stanley and interned at Goldman Sachs.

I did my M.S. in Computer Science at NC State, where I worked on Machine Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision. B.Tech. from VNIT, India.

Outside of work I like skating, board games, reading, and tinkering with side projects. Always happy to chat - feel free to reach out.
