I was a Master's student in Computer Science at Stanford University from Fall 2004. I graduated in Winter 2006 with a Specialization in Systems and Distinction in Research in Artificial Intelligence. During my graduate education at Stanford, I also worked as a Research Assistant on the Inference Web project at the Artificial Intelligence Lab. I completed my undergrad in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Madras (India) in 2002. I spent a couple of years doing some interesting research at Network Systems Lab, before coming to Stanford in Fall 2004.

After graduating from Stanford in Apr '06, I worked as a Software Design Engineer at Microsoft Corporation for four years on Federated Web Services Security and Cloud Computing support in the Microsoft.NET platform (3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 releases).

From Apr '10, I worked for a couple years as a Program Manager on the Windows Phone team (7.0 and 7.5 releases), on projects that focused on driving up partner quality in the phone ecosystem. In particular, I worked on building a cloud-based solution for enforcing partner compliance metrics for the Windows Phone platform. I also worked on the design of a Business Intelligence (BI) solution for Windows Phone device telemetry analytics.

In my current role, I serve as a Program Manager in Microsoft Research (MSR) Silicon Valley, and enable strategic partnerships between research groups in MSR which build cutting edge, next-gen technology, with product groups in Microsoft Corp., which can leverage such technology to ship compelling product experiences for Microsoft customers.
