applying machine learning to derive insights into resource and infrastructure optimization.}

\cventry{Nov 2015--July 2017}{Senior Software Engineer}{Uber}{San Francisco}{}{ Started a new team running Cassandra on Mesos at Uber. Contributed to the open source \href{http://github.com/mesosphere/dcos-cassandra-service}{Mesos framework}, Apache Cassandra and worked on running it at scale at Uber. Gave talks describing our work at \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2jFLx8NNro}{MesosCon} and \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ap-1VT2ChU}{Cassandra Summit}.}

\cventry{Aug 2008--Aug 2012}{Research Assistant}{University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign}{}{}
{Worked on performance modeling of distributed systems as Research Assistant with \href{http://cs.illinois.edu/people/faculty/roy-campbell}{Prof. Roy H. Campbell}.}

\cventry{Summer 2012}{Software Engineering Intern}{Google}{Mountain View}{}{Interned in the Cluster management team with John Wilkes. Worked on the scheduling of long running service jobs taking into account the performance and availability requirements.}

\cventry{May 2010--May 2012}{Research Intern}{Hewlett-Packard Labs}{Palo Alto}{}{Interned in the Storage and Information Managements Platforms Lab with Ludmila Cherkasova and researched on MapReduce performance modeling. By profiling MapReduce jobs, we built a compact performance model representing their execution. It is used to optimize the overall infrastructure utility and achieve specified service level objectives.}

\cventry{Summer 2009}{Software Intern}{Yahoo!}{Champaign}{}{Contributed to the design and development of Direct Object Repository Architecture (DORA), which is a high performance, horizontally scalable and reliable object based back-end storage. Worked on distributing the meta-data for fault tolerance and higher availability, wrote a FUSE (Filesystem in User Space)  implementation and a Distributed Filesystem for Hadoop, the open source MapReduce implementation.}

\cventry{Summer 2007}{Software Intern}{Google}{Bangalore}{}{Worked on Orkut, an online social networking website. It involved understanding technologies like Map Reduce and the distributed file systems, collecting data for research on Orkut and developing new features.}
