I currently work at Renaissance Technologies.
Previously, I was a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley in the RiseLab where I did research in large-scale serverless systems for Machine Learning workloads. I was advised by Randy Katz and Pedro Fonseca.
Prior to that I did research at EPFL (Switzerland) and MPI-SWS (Germany). I have also worked as a management consultant at Mckinsey&Co. in Europe and South America.
