I build performance-sensitive systems and tooling close to hardware.
Right now, I'm building Tensara , a platform for GPU kernel optimization and benchmarking, and interning with the engineering team at Zerodha on internal infrastructure.
Beyond systems work, I'm interested in macroeconomics and market structure. I built the website for The 1991 Project at the Mercatus Center, visualizing India's post-liberalization economic trajectory. I'm also an Emergent Ventures fellow.
Previously, I helped build covid19india.org (2 million+ daily users at its peak), worked on a COâ‚‚ emissions calculator at IIM Bangalore, got to the YC S18 interviews with Boxware, and presented a research paper on localized FM mesh networks at an IEEE conference.
I'm a final year ECE undergrad at Shiv Nadar University . Back in 2022, I graduated from Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram , where I was the President of Exun Clan—India's oldest high school tech club.
