I am currently working with
Yahoo! Inc Sunnyvale. Prior to this, I worked with Yahoo! R&D, Bangalore
(Nov 2005 – Sep 2009). At Yahoo!, I have been
working in the area of Grid Computing, specifically, Apache Hadoop.
I am a Hadoop Committer, and a member of the Apache
Hadoop Program Management Committee. Prior
to Yahoo!, I was with Hewlett Packard, R&D,
Bangalore, for the period July 1997 – Nov 2005. I graduated from Birla Institute of Tech & Science
(BITS), Pilani with a B.E. in CS, in May 1997. I joined HP right after I
finished my graduation and have mostly been in Bangalore since then except
for a couple of stints in the HP Laboratories, Palo Alto. I worked on a
couple of things at HP – Embedded JVM [1 2], Embedded
Application Server, Wireless Services & Security for mobile users [1, 2,
3, 4], Grid
Computing [1],
and, Sensor Networks Middleware [1, 2]. Yes,
my work at HP was in the domain of Applied Research – I did a lot of
design & implementation and also wrote some papers and got some patents.
By the way, I also managed to do MS from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. Thankfully, I could use some of my
regular work time to do my thesis, and needed only a 6-month break to do the
MS coursework. I was fortunate to get such good support from my seniors and
the management at HP. You
