Profile: https://flows.cv/keyur

I'm a graduate student in computer science at NYU Courant, diving into the latest technologies and techniques in distributed systems, databases, and data engineering. I am looking for full-time job opportunities where I can apply my skills to build low-latency, highly scalable software applications.

I love breaking down complex problems and finding elegant solutions, which is why I enjoy building software systems and playing video games.

Previously, I was a software developer and data engineer at BookMyShow, India's leading online entertainment ticketing platform. I contributed to the backend systems design and implementation for features associated with user profiles and purchase history. I designed and implemented ETL pipelines using Spark to serve aggregated data to other microservices.

I enjoyed working with a collaborative and agile team, where I learned from senior engineers and delivered high-quality solutions.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ TigerData (creators of TimescaleDB)
Jan 2024 – Present

### Recitation Leader @ NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | New York, New York, United States
I worked as the Recitation Leader for Prof. Benjamin Goldberg's Computer Systems Organization course in Spring 2024.

I taught students weekly, covering broad aspects of computer systems, including computer architecture, C programming, assembly code, and logical circuits. This involved revising the material covered in lectures, as well as extending it by introducing new ideas

### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | New York, United States
I worked as the Graduate Teaching Assistant for Prof. Lakshminarayanan Subramanian's Real-time Big Data Applications course in Spring 2024.

I was involved in helping introduce the students to various big data processing systems, ranging from the traditional MapReduce framework and Spark/Kafka, to cutting-edge systems such as VBASE and SageDB. This was primarily motivated by paper readings, followed by discussions in class. My responsibilities also included preparing & grading assignments and mentoring students during their semester-long project.

### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | New York, New York, United States
I worked as the Graduate Teaching Assistant for Prof. Dennis Shasha's Advanced Database Systems course in Fall 2023.

I helped students understand database system internals better, by answering questions, presenting various tools required for the course, and grading and providing feedback on their assignments and projects.
