systems / low-level / compilers
About
why I'm hereI'm a graduate student in Computer Science at Northeastern University's Vancouver campus. I like working close to the machine: compilers, runtimes, memory, and the gap between what a program says and what the hardware actually does.
My background is in deep learning efficiency (compression, sparsity, and optimizer benchmarking), which is what pulled me down the stack. These days I'm building tools that turn models into small, dependency-free native code.
I'm looking for internships and full-time roles in low-level / systems engineering.
Currently
- Building Null, an ONNX → standalone C compiler, in C++20
- Coursework at Northeastern (Fall 2026)
- Open to systems internships for 2027
Things I like poking at
see sketch below- Compilers and code generation
- Systems programming in C / C++
- Performance engineering and profiling
- Memory layout, caches, and SIMD
- Emulation and computer architecture
- ML inference runtimes

Experiments
more soonExp. #1: Null (2026 – ongoing)
A compiler that lowers ONNX models to standalone, dependency-free C. Written in C++20, built up one small, tested step at a time; first milestone is an MLP running end to end and matching onnxruntime.
Tools: C++20, C, ONNX
Exp. #2: ConvNet Library (Jun – Aug 2025)
A modular ConvNet library modelled on the Transformers API: config management, ResNet-style residual blocks, and a lightweight trainer for custom datasets and metrics.
Tools: Python, PyTorch, NumPy
Exp. #3: MEMO Score (Sep 2025)
A standardized benchmark for pruning, quantization and distillation across CNNs and Transformers, measuring FLOPs, latency, parameters and accuracy trade-offs. It became the basis for the MEMO paper (DASA 2025).
Tools: PyTorch, Transformers, Accelerate
Education
- Northeastern University, Vancouver: MS, Computer Science (2026 – present)
- Amity University: B.Tech, Computer Science and Engineering (2022 – 2026)
