I am a CS Ph.D. Student at Georgia Tech specializing in Computing Systems. I am interested in research regarding Distributed Systems/Operating Systems, specifically in improving resource utilization efficiency and reducing network communication overheads for datacenter workloads.

I am currently a part of the Kernel Research Group at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Ada Gavrilovska. Prior to pursuing my Ph.D. at Georgia Tech, I worked at the GeForce Now team @Nvidia and the Server Performance Team @ AMD.
