Who am I?
I expect to graduate in May 2024 and am currently looking for a job, targeting post-doc research positions or industry work.
I am a fifth year PhD student at Indiana University with interests in everything CS and engineering. Outside of that, I hike, go biking, bake everything imaginable, and read books on history.

Research Interests
My current research focuses are in various segments of systems research, especially Serverless, Cloud, and Virtualization. I intend on creating and working on such systems in industry after finishing my degree.
