swe @ stripe · cs @ bits pilani '26


grew up downloading games from shady sources (thanks SKIDROW, CODEX, CPY)

that's how i got into computers, honestly

cinema nerd with extremely catholic taste (kurosawa to sandler, no shame)

recovering keyboard player, meaning i play when no one's home

quizzing nerd — loved my time at ELAS and Matrix @ bits


i work on batch compute infrastructure at stripe. i spent the last six months on the team working on spark config autotuning, cpu oversubscription, and history server reliability — and i'm continuing full-time starting this july. i did some college ml research (computer vision, llm alignment) along the way, but my main focus is large-scale data systems.

gaming

i grew up gaming. downloading games from shady sources certainly developed the sigma developer grindset in me. thank you SKIDROW, CODEX, CPY, RELOADED, RG Mechanics!
