Hi! I'm Raja...

I'm a Research Assistant in the AI-Infrastructure team at Microsoft Research India (MSR-I), where I work on optimizing systems for efficient inference of Large Language Models (LLMs). Currently, I'm exploring ways to optimize the serving of vision transformer models. In 2023, I graduated from the Undergraduate Programmes at the IIT Bombay, where I earned my B.Tech (with Honors) in Computer Science. During my undergrad, I worked with Prof. Purushottam (Puru) Kulkarni on CXL and persistent memory.

My research interests broadly lie in computer systems, with a current focus on making them more efficient for modern machine learning workloads.

That's me

When deadlines are quiet and time slows, you may find me taking infinite walks, or sitting somewhere with a book. I used to weave my thoughts into words (check out the poetry below!), though I have stopped doing that recently.
