I graduated from BITS-Pilani with an MS in Computer Science in 2005. Following this, I worked at Intel Corporation in Mobile BIOS development group on EFI BIOS and legacy BIOS. I then worked for a short while in the backend layout editor development at Cadence Design Systems. Presently, I am working with VMware Inc. and leading their virtual chipset and BIOS development needs. I also join Stanford sometimes for academic courses in Computer Science. My stanford homepage can be found at their website here. (The stanford webpage is accessible only at times when I am actively participating with the college).

My research and academic interests include Computer Architecture, Virtualization, Operating Systems, Embedded Systems, Compilers, Sensory networks, and related domains.

I also have a number of outside interests, including running, racquetball, tennis, karate, martial arts, climbing, basketball, poetry, hiking etc.

I also undertake contract based IT consultancy projects on a part-time basis (about 20 hours per week). Mainly I do such work in the domains of OPROM development, device driver development, advanced PCI/PCIe consultancy, BIOS and PC architecture projects and related domains. I have also done projects on network programming, protocol implementations, application programming for various network clients and in various other domains.

I am also involved in several entrepreneurship ventures involving both IT and non-IT domains. Details for the same are available on webpages below.
