I am a President's Scout. Received an honorary Rastrapathi Award from People's President Late Sri. Bharata Ratna A.P.J Abdul Kalam in 2006 at New Delhi
I am a hobby artist. Since childhood, I was trained in pencil sketching, Watercolors, Oil Pastels, Oil on Canvas, and Glass Paintings. I couldn't get enough time to focus on a personal portfolio page. Maybe I'll mark it as my upcoming new year's resolution.
Cyprus was the only country I visited outside India. I have attended a conference there back in 2019 and fell in attachment with their culture and cuisine. Overall the food was GOOD!
I religiously follow OECD papers on economy, technology policies, health, clean energy, and climate change. Angus Maddison's work on The World Economy - A Millennial Perspective and Historical Statistics is a must-read for every person to widen their world perception.
I am an Engineer with a solid skill set in developing Software Systems and Enterprise Product Design. I have strong experience developing backend layers (Data Integration/ETL/Replication/Sharding/NoSQL DB), middleware (transaction processing/messaging), and API development (REST/ODATA/SOAP/Microservices). I have built and been involved in a good number of software projects for academia and budding startup communities since 2013. I love code design patterns and refactoring legacy code. I am an avid follower of Martin Fowler's experiences in Software System development.
I am currently working as a Data Product Manager at Phenom and also as a Guest Faculty at IIIT Hyderabad. In the past, I worked for Accurate Background and Cornerstone Ondemand. I gained a keen interest in computing research in my early professional career. I started working as a graduate software researcher in 2014 in the area of Software Quality Engineering at Software Engineering Research Center, IIIT Hyderabad under the guidance of Prof. Y. Raghu Reddy. I managed to coin a software quality metric called Defect Dependency Degree. I developed a rough-set theory-based approach to calculate a dependency of a defect over the rest of the defects in a Large Scale Integrated Software Product, published my dissertation as part of my Master of Science by Research in 2016.
I have built a requirement specification tool called VReqST to specify requirements for Virtual Reality Software Products as part of my Doctoral Research. I was awarded PhD in Computer Science in June 2024.
Apart from computing research, I dedicate my time to cooking, Oil on Canvas, Plants, and my Mom!
