I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at MPI-SWS working with Rupak Majumdar. I work on developing automated techniques to test distributed system implementations. My research interests are in formal verification and distributed systems.
I completed my PhD (Joint between CMI and IRIF) in 2024, supervised by Constantin Enea and Mandayam Srivas. During my PhD, I was a summer Applied Science Intern at AWS (June-August 2024). I completed my Masters in Computer Science at Chennai Mathematical Institute in 2020. I've worked as a software developer at Zoho and Bookmyshow, and as a DevOps engineer at Unacademy.

Tools
netrixframework/netrix
A DSL to describe unit tests for distributed protocol implementations. The framework allows developers to encode specific executions to test the implementation.
zeu5/gocov
A Go library to fetch coverage information of the current running program. Large parts are borrowed from the go runtime source that dumps the coverage information.
zeu5/dist-rl-testing
A general framework to run reinforcement learning based exploration on distributed protocol implementations. Under progress.
