About
- I spend most of my time learning more about systems - distributed systems, databases, real time systems
- I love working on problems that seem really intriguing and impactful
- I am a bit obsessed with music, I listen to all genres, but I love blues, punk, alt, indie jazz, sufi and indian folk music
- Right now I'm researching probabilistic guarantees in concurrency testing and exploring how GPU parallelism affects real-time systems
