Experience

Booking.com, Amsterdam

Software Engineer 01.2026 - Present
  • Build and maintain Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines from MySQL and Amazon Aurora using Apache Flink and Debezium, streaming binlog events to Kafka for real-time downstream consumption.
  • Partnered with BDX (Booking Data Exchange) team to develop a Flink/CDC SDK that enables event-driven data delivery by writing CDC data directly into BDX-managed Iceberg tables, reducing intermediate processing and improving data quality.
  • Partner with the Data Solutions team to onboard new schemas, support schema evolution, and troubleshoot end-to-end data issues across MySQL, Kafka, and BDX.

Da Vinci Derivatives, Amsterdam

Software Developer 07.2023 - 11.2025
  • Managed and integrated data pipelines across multiple crypto exchanges, focusing on accurate data capture, real-time position reconciliation, and low-latency order cancellation to support high-frequency trading strategies.
  • Developed a pcap replaying framework to efficiently test trading algorithms by replaying live network traffic in a controlled environment.
  • Designed and implemented a robust limits framework to streamline portfolio transfers, ensuring regulatory compliance, adherence to risk controls, and reducing operational errors.
  • Contributed to full-stack development by building critical features for traders, enhancing both usability and functionality of the trading platform.

Google, IN-BLR-BCPC, Remote

Software Engineering Intern 05.2022 - 07.2022
  • Collaborated with the Anthos for VM team towards making Attachable VMs first-class citizens of the Anthos platform.
  • Explored the feasibility of the DVfilter framework in capturing and diverting network traffic from VMs to Service VMs.

    Projects

    Formal verification of group messaging protocols

    2022-2023
    Supervisor: Prof. Sanjiva Prasad

    Worked on extending the DY* framework to support complex data structures and simulated realistic executions of group messaging protocols. Also built a framework for modeling the protocol semantics in DY* & developed abstractions for specifying their security properties.

    Digital Electoral Rolls using Hash Chains

    2022
    Supervisor: Dr. Subodh Sharma

    Implemented Digital Electoral Rolls in a privacy preserving manner by using an immutable and append-only database. Implemented a Merkle Tree representation to provide cryptographical proofs for Data & Consistency Verification queries. Used Digital Signatures and ACLs to allow only permissioned updates and an immutable ledger to record transactions.

    Experimental Kernel with Concurrency and Multi-Core Scheduling

    2022
    Supervisor: Prof. Sorav Bansal

    Implemented a kernel with a shell interface and used asymmetric stackless coroutines to improve the responsiveness. Enhanced the kernel by implementing fibers to support recursive computations as well as non-preemptive scheduling. Added pre-emptive scheduling and multi-core programming by implementing interrupt handlers and an SPSC queue.

    DRAM Request Manager for Multicore Processors

    2021
    Supervisor: Prof. Preeti Ranjan Panda

    An interpreter for a subset of the MIPS ISA, maintaining internal data structures to represent Register File,Memory and ALU. Simulated DRAM access timings,enabled Non-Blocking Memory Access and Data forwarding to increase throughput. Simulated Memory Request Manager to efficiently handle DRAM requests from different cores in Multicore Processors.
