Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft in Hyderabad, and a backend engineer at heart. I like the unglamorous parts: distributed systems, performance, clean APIs, and the plumbing that keeps things running when nobody is watching.
Right now that means building backend systems for Text-to-Speech, giving neural voices to Indic locales. Before this I shipped machine translation models into production. The domain keeps changing, the backend problems stay delightfully the same.
When I am not writing services, I am usually writing about them, fuelled by an unreasonable amount of coffee β.
