I have taken a break from my PhD to start Locu, a company that helps small businesses compete and market themselves through big data.
Update: Locu has been acquired by GoDaddy! I am now running engineering for the "Discovery Marketing" set of products at GoDaddy.
I am working towards a PhD degree at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). My research interests include: compilers, automatic parallelization, computer architecture and runtime systems. I am working in the Commit Research Group, under the supervision of Prof. Saman Amarasinghe.
Previously, I completed my Master's at the University of Toronto under Prof. Gregory Steffan. My MASc thesis titled "A Dynamic Instrumentation Approach to Software Transactional Memory" can be found here.
