About myself

Hi! I am Vishal, a former Ph.D. Student in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. At CMU, I worked with Prof. David Garlan in the Able Software Architecture Group. During my academic years at Carnegie Mellon, I was primarily interested in problems around Software Architecture and system design. For my Ph.D. research I came up with an approach called 'End User Architecting' and a related framework called ‘Halo’ that provides a toolkit for creation of composition environments that can perform automated analysis, code-generation and debugging.

For the last few years, I have been working in the industry as a Software Architect and I have designed some complex systems and integrations. Specifically, some of my recent work has been towards building highly-performant messaging infrastructures, and integrations related to payment, loyalty and fulfillment systems.
