Research Experience
- - Systems Researcher, NVIDIA, August 2024 - Present: Next-gen Programmable NICs, transports for AIML, RPC acceleration.
- - Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research, Networking Research Group, Redmond, USA, November 2018 - August 2024: Design and implementation of “Delivery Based Ordering” system that provides fairness for high frequency trading in cloud-hosted financial exchanges; production-friendly network stack to accelerate communication in cloud environments; compiler-based optimizations for cloud SDN policy rulesets; over-the-network disaggregation of 5G PHY and MAC layers to enable cloud-native 5G vRANs.
- - Software Engineer (Internship), Google, Mountain View, California, USA, September 2015 - January 2016: Worked on host data plane acceleration for high-performance networking using custom kernel-bypass frameworks and built part of a production low-latency userspace packet switching engine and software NIC.
- - Systems Engineer, Bytemobile Inc (Now part of Citrix), November 2009 - May 2011: Lab design and implementation for network performance emulating thousands of clients using load balancers, complex network topologies, open-source and proprietary traffic generators on top of 10GbE hardware. Also worked on application and kernel optimizations to scale network performance.
- - Software Engineer, Google Summer of Code (FreeBSD organization), May 2009 - August 2009: Designed and implemented a new model for TrustedBSD Audit, supporting multiple audit facilities and extended the project to support a prototype audit subsystem for FreeBSD jails.
- - Systems & Network Administrator, Bytemobile Inc (Now part of Citrix), June 2007 - June 2008: Responsible for Bytemobile European Development Center’s core IT infrastructure including gateways, DNS, policy-based routing, firewalls, and other services.

Background
- Systems researcher with a keen interest in high-performance networked computer systems. Research interests include host dataplane acceleration, kernel-bypass I/O frameworks, userspace network (TCP/IP, UDP/IP) and storage (NVMe) stacks, RDMA, scheduling, device drivers, etc. Also conducted research in systems security, focusing on hybrid capability systems and compiler-assisted application compartmentalization frameworks.
