About Me

I graduated from the Computer Science department at Stanford, after doing some research on porting earth science applications onto GPUs, helping TA courses on Data Mining & Information Retrieval and Web Search courses, and spending a summer at Yahoo.

Before that in India, I graduated from BITS Pilani, interning also at Bhabha Atomic Research Center, Indian Institute of Science and Hewlett Packard Labs.

Started my career in the Bay Area at LinkedIn where I contributed to systems (key/value, streaming, scheduling, OLAP, feed index), data tools (a/b testing, forecasting) and growth data products. Towards the end, I was leading the team powering newsfeed platform.

I moved to Coursera where I helped start 2 new business lines and eventually led over half of engineering.

I'm now at Meta where I've helped build out various applied research organizations - ranging from ones focusing on detecting misinformation to adding new capabilities on our glasses to underlying platforms that power all of the above perception models. I'm now leading a team in the new Meta Superintelligence Lab focusing on media projects spanning understanding to generation models.
