I am a fourth year PhD candidate at the department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. I am advised by Prof. Gennady Pekhimenko. I primarily focus on the area of systems research. My research interests include stream processing, systems for machine learning, and distributed/parallel computing.

Before joining University of Toronto, I graduated with MSc in Computer Science from University of British Columbia under the supervision of Prof. Alexandra Fedorova and Prof. Ivan Beschastnikh. Before that, I obtained B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from National Institute of Technology Calicut.
