About Me
I am a Software Engineer at Amazon
Web Services working on distributed systems for a recently
launched cloud-based data analytics service.
Earlier, I was a
Research Staff Member
at
IBM Research Almaden, where I work on projects focusing on
high-speed data ingestion pipelines, distributed machine learning,
memory caching for iterative data analytics in Apache Spark, and fast
data recovery in HDFS.
Before joining IBM Research, I have graduated with a Ph.D in May 2013 from the Computer Sciences
Department at University of
Wisconsin-Madison. My advisor was
Prof. Mike Swift. During
my Ph.D, I was awarded
the
Lawrence Landweber UW Distinguished PhD Fellowship.
Earlier, I obtained M.S. in CS
from Purdue University in 2008
and B.Tech in CS from
Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT-Delhi) in 2006.
Research Interests
My research interests are in data management, distributed machine learning, cloud object storage and resource scheduling, containers, memory and cache management, file systems and flash storage.
