About

I serve as a Research Software Engineer at Microsoft Research (MSR) in Redmond, where my passion and expertise converge on the exciting frontiers of the Systems for Connectivity. My mission is to architect end-to-end, real-world networking systems that not only illuminate new pathways for Microsoft’s growth but also set the stage for groundbreaking research.

My journey at Microsoft commenced with a remarkable project, FarmBeats: the fusion of AI, Edge Computing, and IoT tailored to empower agriculture. Within this endeavor, we conceived an ingenious idea—a cutting-edge IoT sensor fault detection system, now a pivotal component of the Dependable IoT project. These projects have been successfully integrated into the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, leaving a lasting impact on our technology landscape. In recent years, I’ve been at the forefront of a transformative initiative—enabling IoT within the uncharted territory of TV White Space (TVWS) spectrum. Today, my focus is unwaveringly directed toward the boundless realm of satellite connectivity. Specifically, I’m championing satellite-based direct-to-cell connectivity, igniting the spark of innovation that promises to reshape our connectivity landscape for the better.
