I am working as a software engineer for Google's NetInfra org (previousy: Next Billion Users).
Prior to Google I spent two wonderful years at Microsoft Research
India, where I focused on information and communications technology for
development (ICTD) and got to work with amazing people like
Bill Thies,
Shubranshu Choudhary,
Muthian Sivathanu,
Amit Sharma,
Jacki O'Neill,
Indrani Medhi-Thies,
and Swami Manohar.
I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I was supported by
an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My dissertation was on testing and debugging networked systems. On
the side, I also collaborated with folks in the
TIER group. I was advised by Scott
Shenker, Arvind
Krishnamurthy, and (briefly) George
Necula.
In a previous life I studied philosophy and computer science at the
beautiful University of Washington. I spent most
of my time there working on Internet measurement and
outage avoidance with
Ethan Katz-Bassett,
Dave Choffnes,
Arvind
Krishnamurthy, and Tom
Anderson.
