About Me

I'm a graduate in Physics and Electronics & Communication Engineering from BITS Pilani, India. Currently, I am working at the Systems Research Group in TUM on developing a P4-based operating system for FPGA platforms. My current research interests span across reconfigurable computing, computer systems, embedded hardware with a life-long fascination towards space systems.

When I'm not geeking out over computers, I love exploring new places and wanting to climb every mountain that I see along the way. You'll also find me living and breathing football, from shouting at the TV "Even I could've scored that" to realising that scoring goals might actually not be that easy. I also like playing volleyball, badminton and every indoor sport that goes well with a beer.
