I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, building on my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. My focus has expanded from hands-on distributed systems and backend development to optimizing Large Language Models, an area I find especially exciting within the growing field of Generative AI.

Before returning to academia, I spent over a year and a half at Ola Electric, leading back-end initiatives, optimizing workflows, and managing large-scale database migrations. These experiences continue to guide my approach to research and real-world problem-solving.

Now, as I advance my studies, I’m actively seeking roles in both Software Engineering and Machine Learning Engineering. I’m eager to drive innovation and operational excellence in a collaborative environment, especially where I can leverage my background in distributed systems, cloud and software engineering to develop solutions at scale.

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a dedicated engineer with hands-on cloud expertise and a passion for the next frontier of AI. Let’s connect and see how we can shape cutting-edge technology together!
