## Work Experience
### Staff Software Engineer @ Instabase
Jan 2020 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States

### Computer Science PhD Student @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Jan 2014 – Jan 2020
Thesis: Interactive Data Analytics using GPUs 
Modern GPUs can provide an order-of-magnitude higher memory bandwidth compared to CPUs which can enable interactive query runtimes on analytical queries. However, the massively parallel architecture of GPUs requires rearchitecting in-memory data analytics systems in order to achieve optimal performance. In my PhD, we developed Crystal, a framework for writing high performance SQL query implementations for GPU. We showed that using GPUs can lead to significant performance improvement (~24x in our setup). Finally, we developed theoretical models for estimating query runtime and showed that Crystal achieves these lower bounds.
