​

I am working in the Cloud Reliability Research and Innovation Area (RIA) at Microsoft Research India. The goal of the team is to "Shift Left." the Microsoft Azure cloud and prevent software bugs from reaching the production environment.

My research involves making Azure more reliable by developing a tool for resource leak detection. The tool was developed as a plugin for Torch (an internal dynamic analysis platform) and integrates with Microsoft's CloudBuild Cl pipeline. It leverages a service's test suite to perform dynamic analysis for leak detection and is designed to be able to run and analyze over 100,000 unit tests daily.

I was a Core developer for the Citrix Cloud Connector 4 component. This product is a crucial component of the cloud-based "VPN Gateway as a Service" offering from Citrix and is responsible for serving over 3 million long-running VPN tunnels per week.

I was responsible for end-to-end management of the software product and my duties involved taking ownership of feature development, bug fixing, production environment monitoring, and on-call live site management.

​

I implemented a robust test automation platform for the Citrix VPN Gateway client. The platform enabled easier and more frequent testing of code changes by eliminating all the manual testing effort. The total testing time was reduced from 2 days down to 5 hours.

​

I was involved in handling customer issues and resolving reported bugs. I gained a lot of experience in Windows debugging including areas such as dump file analysis and performance monitoring.

Participated in a gripping, intensive program on entrepreneurship and customer validation conducted by the 'Gopalakrishnan-Deshpande Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship', IIT Madras, in collaboration with IISc Bangalore. "Start with a problem, not with a solution" - was the motto of this program.

Understood the importance of Customer Interaction by conducting 100 face to face customer interviews. The program and all its activities helped in developing a lean entrepreneurial mindset that helps a great deal and compliments an engineer's thought process.

I worked with the Tax Processing team and used docker to containerize the Data Influx Adapter, a crucial component of the tax lot processing pipeline. I performed an evaluation of the newly developed software using an input dataset of 6 million tax lots. Results showed that although the entire product performance was almost unaffected, the cost savings were immense.

​

The containerized version was quickly adopted and deployed into the production environment. It greatly improved the code portability and boosted developer productivity.

I interned at the Computer Systems Lab 2 in IISc under the Narendra Summer Internship & program. I was 1 among 19 students selected from a pool of over 2500 students all across India. My research focused on the dynamic detection of heterogeneous data races in General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) programs that employed the CUDA programming model.

The ‘Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ experienced a one-of-a-kind Bootcamp which kick-started the journey of many students into entrepreneurship. The centre held weekly sessions to introduce entrepreneurship and decode the start-up journey of guest entrepreneurs. It was all about answering questions, interacting with the guests and more!

Filled with fun, activities and live examples, it was a great opportunity to learn more about entrepreneurship, and also get to interact with experienced entrepreneurs and start-ups. Boot camp offered students an in-depth heuristic approach to entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and business.
