I work on AlloyDB Omni at Google, making PostgreSQL databases run everywhere from Kubernetes clusters to bare metal Linux. Before that, two summers interning at Google across Cloud Engineering Productivity and Corp Engineering teams.
I grew up in New Delhi, studied Electrical Engineering at NSUT, and spent those years doing research on battery health prediction and solar forecasting, which turned into a handful of IEEE and Elsevier publications.
I care about women in tech, and giving back is something I take seriously. I contributed actively to Girls Grow since its inception — a community for girls pursuing technology. I served as a code reviewer and judge for Google Girl Hackathon 2025 (58k+ registrations, helped select top 76 finalists), actively volunteer with Google, was a Harvard Women Engineers Code Fellow (one of 50 globally), and hosted workshops for underprivileged girls through Go Girl and Yashoda Foundation impacting 100+ girls.
Lately I've been reading a lot about computational genomics: the intersection of algorithms, statistics, and biology that's quietly reshaping medicine. I write my thoughts on Substack.

Summer Fields School, New Delhi, IndiaI was an average student until 5th grade. Then something shifted - the people around me made me want to be better. I became head girl and was a scholar for 6 consecutive years, went from dreading public speaking to actually enjoying it, started doing inter-school competitions. In 9th grade, my English teacher told me I had to do anchoring for the Republic Day celebrations. I went to her with every excuse I had. She said: you always have enough time to do everything, never use time as a reason not to. I took that seriously. I still do.Project Citizen National Showcasing · Oct 2017. Won Excellent Documentation Award at a national level. Initiated a campaign against cyber bullying in school in collaboration with the Cyber Crime branch of Delhi Police.

Google Research Week 2024Selected as a participant for Google Research Week, a prestigious ML symposium. My interest in attention mechanisms, sparked by working through Attention Is All You Need, got me here, though I've since lost my notes on it. Open to discussing over a coffee chat.
Projects
I have a thing for hackathons. Won two inside Google as well: Databases Agentic Hackathon 2025 and Noogler Hackathon 2024. interesting ideas, but gotta keep them within the org.

Outside Work
I like moving, sweating, and occasionally finding myself somewhere I have never been before.
-
BadmintonMy oldest and most reliable dopamine source. Proper smash technique: (not) acquired. Questionable footwork: still in progress.the shuttle has never wronged me.
-
Tennis (learning)Recently picked it up. Currently in the phase where the ball goes everywhere except over the net. Deeply optimistic about the trajectory.love means nothing in tennis. I relate.
-
Working OutRegular. Consistent. Still waiting to do my first pull-up. At this point it is less a fitness goal and more a matter of personal honour.gravity and I are in active negotiations.
-
TravellingStarted going to new places and want to keep going. The world is embarrassingly large.my passport is finally pulling its weight.

Trying New ThingsSnorkelled in open water with average swimming ability and full confidence. This is basically my approach to everything.technically not drowning counts as swimming.

Working on AlloyDB Omni at Google, making databases run reliably across messy environments.
Going deep on computational genomics: sequence alignment, variant calling, the statistics underneath it all.
Writing my thoughts on Substack.
Learning tennis.
Planning the next trip.
