I am a math grad. I am passionate about systems engineering in general. I have around 7 years of experience in the field of data. I have worked as data scientist, data engineer and now developing big data tools.

These days I am learning - Operating systems, concurrent programming, distributed systems and parallel programming.

🌱 I'm passionate about open source and contributing to projects that make a difference. Currently, I'm actively contributing to the following repositories:

• Datafusion-Comet: Apache DataFusion Comet Spark Accelerator. I am actively contributing to this repo right now.
• raft-rs (maintainer): An understandable, fast, customizable and scalable async-await Raft implementation with zero-copy.

minor contributions -

• Apache Iceberg-rust: Rust implementation of Apache Iceberg.
• ParadeDB: Postgres for Search and Analytics written in Rust.
• Arroyo: Distributed stream processing engine in Rust.

I also maintain a blog where I write about tech, notes on research papers I read, and other long form writing - Check out my blog

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any suggestions or opportunities for collaboration!
