I'm Krish, a software engineer from New Jersey working in New York.
I currently work at Beacon Platform (acquired by Clearwater Analytics, NYSE: CWAN), where I help hedge funds and asset managers deploy pricing and risk infrastructure across multi-asset portfolios. Previously, I conducted research on clinical grounding for LLMs at Boston University's Kolachalama Lab, designed document automation tools, and launched a nonprofit mentorship platform connecting high schoolers to college mentors.
I studied Computer Engineering with a Machine Learning concentration at Boston University, where I was named a FIRST Robotics Presidential Scholar — awarded to the top 0.5% of engineering admits.
I live in NJ, work in NYC, and bounce back to Boston often. When I'm not building, I'm probably watching BU hockey, diving into sports stats, or chasing a pickleball rally somewhere along the East Coast.
