I am passionate about technology and its potential to shape the future of society. Currently, I serve as one of the two co-leads at the Makerspace at Ashoka University. Recently, we launched indexai.dev - a project we have been working on in stealth mode for a few weeks at @_buildspace.
During my time as an intern at Microsoft Research, India, I had the opportunity to explore my interests in systems for machine learning. I worked closely with Srinivasan Iyengar on a project aimed at improving datacenter sustainability without compromising compute availability. My research interests include memory systems, trusted execution environments, blockchain applications, and cyber physical systems. While at Ashoka, I held multiple positions at the Women in Computing Society, and I am always on the lookout for ways we can contribute together to building inclusive communities within tech.
During the last leg of my undergrad, I rekindled my passion for making things when in the spring of 2021, I conducted penetration tests on some popular cars currently on Indian roads to assess their resilience against known hardware attacks (the results of which I cannot yet share). Since then, I have been working with Debayan Gupta at Ashoka to establish the university's first makerspace.
I am currently working on the second edition of Ashoka's flagship hackathon - RedBrick Hacks - which is scheduled to take place during the first week of August this year. In addition, I am also involved in a few other exciting projects, which I look forward to sharing soon.
If you're interested in discussing anything exciting that you're currently working on, feel free to reach out to me via email. I'd be happy to connect!

That others would not call hobbies based on the function of time that goes into them.
Fun stuff that would not count as a project but are still interesting. Like that one script I wrote one lazy afternoon to help a friend prefill 67 Google Docs. Picking up a new API to do something fun is always a nice feeling.
