Who am I?
About
I'm currently working at Pricebaba, Mumbai. Previous experience includes working at the Microsoft HQ (Redmond), and internships at Pricebaba and Microsoft IDC.
Worked (to varying extents) on large-scale web services infrastructure, automation infrastructure, telemetry, monitoring and alerting, among other things. I developed a basic spelling correction engine in an internship while learning machine learning basics. Other than that, have worked on tiny projects involving embedded systems and robotics, web design, app development, python scripting, and other random experiments. I find playing around with data fascinating, and have a keen interest in intelligent systems - and would love to work on those. Very interested in software design/architecture.
Other than tech - I like arts (admiring all the aesthetic, fancy stuff), meeting people, travel, adventure sports and trying out new stuff. And have a particularly strong interest in subjects related to social evolution - religion, war, history, spirituality, justice/morality and philosophy about work and happiness and life.
And I totally love Calvin and Hobbes.
