About Me
Hello there!
I’m Tejasvi (Tej) I am currently an MMath CS thesis student at the University of Waterloo advised by Prof. Ken Salem. Before this, I was a Senior Software Engineer at AI & Robotics Technology Park (ARTPARK) - a joint venture by the Indian Institute of Science and Aifoundry. Previously, I was a Technical Associate at the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
Interests
Currently, I work on transaction durability in databases with Prof Salem. In my earlier role, I used to work on backend systems, databases, security and cloud automation.
Apart from professional/academic interests, I really enjoy intriguing short stories and western classical music (Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi and the like). I also play badminton and table tennis.
