About Myself

I am a Postgraduate student in the Dept. of CDS – Computer & Data Systems, Indian Institute of Science .
I work in the Database Systems domain under the guidance of Prof. Jayant Haritsa at the Database Systems Lab.

With a keen interest in the functioning of computers since childhood, influenced me to pursue my dreams in the field of Computer Science. Computer Systems has always been my preference, since undergrads, and would love researching and sailing into it. The deep underlying system-design/architecture is what fascinates me at max.

QUOTES

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. - Muhammad Ali.
