CS Engineer, Educator, and a Polymath
I am a CS engineer passionate about building systems that scale and currently working with Google as a Staff Software Engineer with the Dataproc team and making Apache Spark faster.
Throughout my career, I have worked across a variety of domains and have built systems, services, and platforms that scale to billions; and have worked at companies like Unacademy, Amazon, Practo, and D. E. Shaw.
I hold a Master's in CS from IIIT-Hyderabad, specializing in Databases, Information Retrieval and Web Mining. I teach a cohort-based course on System Design and have taught 1000+ engineers. On the side, I am
- building a tiny in-mem database DiceDB
- running a YouTube channel with 20k subscribers
- publishing a newsletter with 21k readers
- putting out one-liners through The Smarter Chimp
- reading and implementing a bunch of research papers
- reading a few engineering books every now and then
