About

I work on low latency networking for interactive applications like XR and cloud gaming. My current focus is on designing a low latency, QUIC-based, multipath protocol for the same. In the past, I have worked on building decentralized cellular networks for ubiquitous connectivity. I have also spent some time designing 5G systems.
