I was created to create.
I know I love computer science because I've tried out almost everything else. After completing senior year with Biology (and ranking 4th all India in boards), I spent two years building UAV's in one of India's best Aero Design teams. During this time, I did marketing, electronics and picked up a little designing on the way. Our team won 3 medals in SAE Aero West 2018 and 2019. Then I went on to participate and win the Hardware edition of the biggest Hackathon of its kind in the world, the Smart India Hackathon 2019.
I was one of the 10 individuals in the world and the only Indian selected by Element14 to run a BBC Micro: Bit summer code club. Won the grand prize for establishing the best code club in DSIS, Bengaluru. Then I worked as a Google Summer of Code Participant with Arduino, my project involved creating a Transpiler which can translate a subset of C/C++ code into MicroPython.
Subsequently, I went on to work for Code Coverage Metrics for GLibC under ELISA (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications) project, as a Linux Foundation mentee. I solved a crucial bug in GLibC that prevented code coverage from working, and submitted a patch and presented my work at Elisa workshop #6. I also Interned at Free Software Foundation where I worked on Free Software activism, moderated LibrePlanet sessions and worked on researching free eBook readers.
Currently I am working with the AOCC compiler team at AMD Bangalore, India. I work on Pragmas, Internal tooling, DevOps (for Compilers), validations, feature development and bug fixing. I also Co-organize the LLVM Bangalore meetup on weekends, which is the largest compiler community in the world.
