As a software engineer at Ripple, I work on the XRP Ledger, a decentralized cryptographic ledger powered by a network of peer-to-peer servers. I apply my blockchain expertise and machine learning skills to develop innovative solutions for cross-border payments, liquidity, and settlement. 

I completed Master of Science in Computer Science from UC San Diego, where I have been a teaching assistant for Python 101, data structures and algorithms courses. I have published multiple papers in IEEE and Springer on topics such as optimization in IoT networks, machine translation, and Renyi differential privacy. I am passionate about learning new technologies and solving real-world problems with data science.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Ripple
Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States

### Teaching Assistant @ UC San Diego
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | San Diego, California, United States
TA for DSC20: Data Structures for Data Science class. I organized Discussion Sessions and conducted Office Hours for helping undergrads learn Python.

### Teaching Assistant @ UC San Diego
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Diego, California, United States
I will be a TA for the CSE 202 course (Design and Analysis of Algorithms).

### Software Engineer Intern @ Ripple
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco
I'm working on the XRP Blockchain Ledger. 

I worked on a large C++ codebase involving various aspects of the XRP Blockchain Ledger, primarily involving Consensus and Cryptography.

I got to learn and use the latest features of the C++ language. It also exposed me to the challenges encountered in designing large-scale systems for scalability, privacy and robustness.

I created 15 Pull Requests of which 7 have been merged into the codebase.
