EDUCATION

B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology & Sciences, Mesra (2002-2006)
Thesis Title: Efficient Algorithm for Terrain Simplification for Fast Rendering
Advisor: Raghunath Jha
Summary: Improves the state of the art in occlusion plane detection given terrain data. My implementation showed a user controlled drive-through of a complex scene with real-time rendering of 3 million polygons using a 16 node Beowulf cluster. A paper was published in Graphics Interface '04.

Delhi Public School, New Delhi (Graduated 2001)
Ranked 1st in school in 12th C.B.S.E. Board Examination.

PROJECT WORK (B. Tech)

  • Built an optimizing compiler for mC++, a C++ subset with support for dynamic object migration over the network between compatible type-spaces.

  • Built a user-level distributed file system based on NFS with write-through caching, fault tolerance and consistency guarantees.

WORK EXPERIENCE

  • Research Assistant, ISRO, Bangalore (Aug - Dec 2005): Implemented a library of image processing functions for edge detection and de-skewing on scanned images. Adapted an off-the-shelf OCR package to operate on scanned mail images with 99% address recognition accuracy at the city/pin-code level and 85% at the street level.

  • Project Trainee, Invisible Networks, Bangalore: (Jan 2006-present): Joined a 7 person startup implementing campus-wide video-on-demand system for corporate training. Implemented the streaming video component with buffering for jitter reduction. Also, bit-rate reduction in the event of congestion to meet frame-rate guarantees. Extensive performance testing was conducted.

COMPUTER SKILLS

  • Software: SQL Server, Apache, CVS, Mathematica, Latex. Also, audio/video formats and codecs. Languages: C/C++, STL, Python, Javascript/C#

  • Platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000.
