I'm currently an graduate student at UC San Diego, exploring Computer Vision and Computer Networks. I recently completed my undergraduate education from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi after having co-founded my startup Pharmart and an awesome internship at Amazon. I breifly also worked at some really amazing problems at Rivigo.
As a software engineer, I enjoy applying my technical knowledge to solve challenging problems. I wish to technology as an enabler for a better lifestyle. My goal is to always build applications that are scalable and efficient under the hood while providing engaging, pixel-perfect user experiences.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably learning to surf, cruising around on my penny board, or exploring San Diego.

- Used collaborative filtering techniques to predict reviewer-item properties on Amazon purchase dataset.
- Predicted whether a user would buy a product using similarity and features based approach. Ranked 25/816 teams in corresponding Kaggle competition.
- Predicted ratings that a user would give to unrated products in the dataset using baseline and matrix factorization based approaches. Ranked 44/461 teams in corresponding Kaggle competition.
- Implemented the election mechanism of RAFT protocol in Python.
- Used RPC library for inter-process communication.
- Developed a web server in Python 3 based on custom "Triton HTTP" protocol
- The web server used socket API to accept requests from clients, parse them as per proocol specification and returen requested resource.
- Added a layer of "in-graph" index in JanusGraph to speed up queries, as a layer over the user's graph data.
- This allowed us to achieved independence from external indexing backends for "equate" and "range" type queries.
- Deployed Smart Contract for Media Distribution on Ethereum Testnet.
- Created web interface for creators to publish media and an interface for users to view and purchase them.
- Provided offchain encryption-decryption interface.
- Solved various challenges to score points in the Hackathon.
- Used face detection in OpenCV to place image of a hat over user's face on stream received from camera.
- Created a robust login system for an Android app. This would logout a user after limited specified time by handling various corner cases in app lifecycle.
🏆 1st Rank in Aldoid Hackathon 🏆
- BrainWhack is a directed learning Android app.
- The app recommendeds prerequisites of an article that user plans to read, to help them understand better.
🏆 1st Runner Up in Coding Blocks Hackathon 🏆
- SimpleDB is an educational DBMS, in which we implemented new features.
- Added a DATETIME data type to the DBMS and extended its B-Tree implementation of indexes to be able to serve range queries.
- Developed and published 2 native iOS games to the Apple App Store.
