About Me
I build custom analytical tools to understand the usage of Siri and drive data-driven decision making within the Siri organization in Apple. Before this, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD, USA. I am interested in data visualization, visual analytics, and HCI in general. I also received my Master of Science in electrical and computer engineering in 2014 from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, USA. I enjoy playing tennis, rock climbing, and sketching in my spare time.
Few years ago, I received my Bachelors degree in computer science in 2012 from Indian Institute of Technology in Hyderabad, India. At that time, I developed Android mobile applications to support rescue and recovery operations in post-disaster situations through a novel multi-hop, peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. This was part of DISANET---Information Network for Natural Disaster Mitigation and Recovery---a joint research project between India and Japan on the use of information and communications technology to mitigate the after-effects of natural disasters.
