I am a first year graduate student of the Computer Engineering program of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, New York. I received the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering from R.V.College of Engineering (Visweshwaraiah Technological University) in India and pursued a brief career in industry before returning to academia.

I worked briefly at Wipro Technologies as a Systems Engineer and then for nearly four years at what is now NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips). I was located in the Bangalore development center and worked on Digital Television systems.

My technical areas of interest are embedded systems, with focus on architectures, compilers and operating systems.

I am currently an intern in the ESX Core Kernel group at VMware Inc. and work at the Palo Alto campus in California.
