I am a Solution Engineer at Nokia (US) in the Cloud Network Services - IP Telephony team. I joined Nokia after graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with an MS in Computer Science. During my Master's, I interned as a Solutions Architect at Red Hat in the Telco Tigers team. Previously, I worked as an Applications Engineer at Oracle (India), where I was part of Oracle Service Cloud's Server team. I completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Calicut, India, in 2018.

I am broadly interested in Systems, specifically at the intersection of Cloud Computing, Networks, Databases, and Real-Time Systems. For my Master's thesis, I collaborated with Dr. Sibin Mohan's group (SyNeRCyS Lab, UIUC) to create a framework to support the live migration of real-time applications in an IoT environment. I have also done projects in other domains, such as Data Mining, Networks, Databases, and Operating Systems.

Projects

Container Framework for Realtime Application in an IoT system (Ongoing)
Real-Time Systems
Designed a predictable (guaranteed to finish within a given time period) mechanism to perform live migration of containers

Migrating Virtual Machines from OpenStack to OpenShift Virtualization
Cloud Computing | Blog
Automated cold migration of existing VMs (blogpost) from RedHat’s OpenStack platform to OpenShift Virtualization

Metric Aware Load Balancer For Microservices
Cloud Computing
Designed a novel load balancing scheme for Envoy which routes requests based on CPU/ memory usage metrics of the services and nodes running in a cluster

Improving Delivery Probability in a Delay Tolerant Network
Networks Identified which routing protocols were best for each sub-network in a DTN overlay, and designed a combination of such protocols to use, to reduce packet loss in the DTN as a whole

Analysis of Bitcoin Transactions
Data Mining Analyzed and proved the pertinence of degree and balance based ’Preferential Attachment’ (a.k.a. rich get richer) phenomenon in a bitcoin transaction network
