My name is Karthik, and I'm an Engineer, Deep Sea Diver and Photographer. I am currently with InCore as a CPU Design Engineer/Micro-Architect. Prior to this, I was with the Centre for Heterogeneous and Intelligent Processing Systems working on Energy Efficient Computing Techniques. Prior to that, I was a mentee at the Linux Foundation working on device drivers for the Linux kernel.

I have about 3 years of experience with CPU core micro-architecture in the Indian semiconductor industry. I also have an additional year of research internship experience in energy efficient computing techniques. My research interests lie in everything that makes compute better. I plan to pursue a PhD some day.

I am a casual student at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras. I have a bachelor's degree from PES University in Bengaluru, India.

I like to write about things that interest me at work, you can read some of those articles on Medium. I adore travelling and adventure. I am a certified enriched air nitrox diver. I am also a hobbyist photographer. You can check out some of the best pictures I've clicked on Unsplash :) ( https://unsplash.com/@thatbangaloreanguy )

I am part of a reading group (currently inactive) - India Systems' Research Discussions.
