Experiences
I am presently working on adaptive packet level FEC schemes for real-time applications, under the guidance of professor P V Kumar. I am responsible for implementing the high throughput encoding and decoding algorithms in C++, and integrating the code with an open-source application to benchmark the performance.
I worked under the guidance of professor Parimal Parag in the Distributed Systems research group at ECE Department, IISc. The work involved using Coding Theory to analyze latency trade-offs in distributed storage frameworks, with a particular emphasis on Fountain Codes.
As part of a college wide initiative, taught programming basics to more than 100 first year undergrads. The responsibilities involved designing lectures, assigning relevant reading material, conducting labs and exams to assess the learning outcomes. Repository. Certificate.
The work involved developing a prediction mechanism for electricity prices in the Indian Energy Exchange. The complete pipeline involved scraping online data, filtering noise, and making the final prediction system using Convolutional Nueral nets. Various architectures were tested on multiple metrics. Code. Report. Presentation.
