I am a senior researcher in the office of the CTO at Azure for Operators. Before this, I was a researcher in the Mobility and Networking group of Microsoft Research, Redmond. I defended my PhD thesis at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My research interests are in computer networking with a focus on wide area network performance and monitoring. I am a 2018 Systems and Networking Google PhD fellow. In a previous life, I developed routing protocol features for Ethernet switches at Arista Networks.
Update: I will be starting as a tenure-track assistant professor of Computer Science at Cornell University in Spring 2023! I am looking for sharp and self-driven students. If you are interested in working with me, send me an email.
