Four years that shaped both my career and my personality. Amazing campus, and even more amazing (and ridiculously smart) people. 
1. Spent a lot of time with friends, games, and roaming around beautiful Mumbai.
2. Worked as a Teaching Assistant for two courses, helping students.
3. Completed an R&D project in adversarial machine learning.
4. Interned at a three-person startup and learned what building software actually feels like in the real world.
5. Interned at Oracle during my third-year summer - my first experience working at scale.
6. The first year happened during COVID, which made the beginning unusual, but the remaining years made up for it.
7. Graduated with a GPA of 8.31, and lots of memories for a lifetime.

### High school · Srichaitanya

Worked hard for JEE, made some friends, and achieved **AIR 199** in JEE Advanced.

Hey, I’m Janaki Ram – a Software Engineer at [WarpBuild](https://www.warpbuild.com/) (YC S21), where I work on some good problems around CI/CD infra and agents for work automation. Before this, I spent two years at Oracle on the Transaction Manager for Microservices ([MicroTx](https://www.oracle.com/database/transaction-manager-for-microservices/)) team. I’m interested in AI and distributed systems.
