I am a third year PhD student at the University of Chicago. I am interested in working on Internet measurements and security. As a member of the Network Operations and Internet Security (NOISE) lab, I am advised by Prof. Nick Feamster. Previously, I was at the University of Cape Town for my masters, where I worked with Dr. Josiah Chavula. I completed my undergraduate studies at BITS Goa.

My research aims to understand the spatial and temporal nature of Internet access disparities through cross-sectional measurement data. Over the course of my PhD, I seek to build flawless Internet access maps for effective data-driven policymaking.

In a past life, I was a software engineer in the Finance Technology industry. I worked for over a year in the Global Data Science team at PayPal, Inc., which was followed by a brief stint in a product development team at ePayLater.
