EDUCATION

B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai (2001-2005)
Thesis Title: Efficient Algorithm for Terrain Simplification for Fast Rendering
Advisor: Janaki Rajagopalan
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.

St. Xavier's School, New Delhi (Graduated 2000)
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, TIFR, Mumbai (Aug - Dec 2004): 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, Kreativ Networks, Bangalore: (Jan 2005-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.
