    Postdoc Researcher at Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin)

    I am a postdoc researcher in the DEEM Lab research group headed by Sebastian Schelter at Technische Universität Berlin and the BIFOLD research center in Berlin, Germany. I received my PhD from TU Berlin under the supervision of Matthias Boehm. My dissertation was selected as a runner-up for the SIGMOD Jim Gray Doctoral Dissertation Award, and my work has received recognitions including an EDBT 2025 Best Paper Award and a SIGMOD Research Highlights Award. Prior to my PhD, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Teradata Labs, Hyderabad, India.

    My research interest lies broadly in the intersection of Data Management, Machine Learning and Systems. Currently, I am exploring systems support for LLM-driven, agentic ML workloads, focusing on efficient execution and optimization of large numbers of dynamically generated pipelines across heterogeneous runtimes. In Teradata, I was involved in the design and development of various features inside Teradata database's execution engine.

    I am a PMC member of Apache SystemDS, which is an open source ML system for the end-to-end data science lifecycle from data integration, cleaning, and preparation, over local, distributed, and federated ML model training, to debugging and serving.
