My name is Mayank. My pronouns are he/him/his. I am pursuing a Masters in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
Distributed Systems and Databases fascinate me. I am driven by the desire to conduct research with the ultimate aim of building robust, production-quality systems.
Previously, I worked in software engineering at D. E. Shaw & Co. and have also interned at NVIDIA, Tradeweb, and Hexagon. I completed my undergraduate education in Computer Science from College of Engineering, Pune, graduating top of my class with honors and winning the gold medal!
When I am not immersed in Computer Science, I can be found delving into the depths of literature, poetry, and the enigmatic meaning of life. I embark on a whimsical journey through blogs, books, and soul-stirring songs. Armed with rationality and an insatiable passion for reading, I collect quotes like treasures along the way, weaving them into the tapestry of my delightfully eclectic existence.
Feel free to contact me if you have something to share, an exciting opportunity to discuss, or need any assistance!

This course explores computer software system structures with a focus on design principles. It covers key structuring techniques and their application in both historical and modern systems.
The course offers a hands-on computer architecture project aiming to familiarize students with instruction set architecture, design of a processor, and control and memory systems, and I/O systems. We design a complete special-purpose processor from grounds up.
The course provides a hands-on experience in using the features of modern CPUs to increase the performance and efficiency of programs.
Graduate Coursework:
CGPA: 9.82 / 10
