Shamik
Sinha

CS + Design graduate, IIIT Delhi. I like problems that keep me up at night.

I'm a 23-year-old software engineer and designer, working across the stack, from low-level systems work to designing immersive experiences. In the past, I've also worked with 3D modelling, animation, and VR/AR systems. I also like to sketch and draw, and I'm a bit of a stickler for good design.

Google May – Aug 2025

Software Engineering Intern  ·  CloudSQL Control Plane  ·  Bengaluru

Worked on the CloudSQL Control Plane team. Built an automated root cause analysis tool that pulls from internal logging and issue-tracking APIs and uses Gemini 2.5 Pro to surface likely causes, cutting down manual investigation time significantly. Also built a Go monitoring library for tracking cross-region RPC errors in short-lived test processes, where standard tracing doesn't work.

WISE Lab Aug 2025 – Present

Undergraduate Researcher  ·  IIIT-Delhi

Building a DQN-based RL agent for tail latency optimisation on heterogeneous edge devices. Working on the reward function, state representation, and a controller pipeline that handles request scheduling and training.

ETiDM Lab Jan – May 2025

Undergraduate Researcher  ·  IIIT-Delhi

Built a VR CAD tool for the HTC Vive in Unity and OpenXR with real-time 3D object creation and manipulation via hand tracking, including shape creation, spatial transforms, material controls, and freehand drawing in 3D space.
