Sumukh Prasad — Curriculum Vitae
This is by no means a "professional" CV. This is more of an exhaustive-list CV.Want something more professional? See the PDF version.
At a Glance
Research/Professional InterestsOn the pure research side, I'm interested in human-computer interaction, distributed systems, electoral and electronic voting systems, and adjacent fields.
On the more practical side, I'm interested in Cocoa/macOS development, OS and kernel development, technology in education and computers for kids, interactive learning demonstrations for complex topics, and free-and-open-source everything.
Other Miscellaneous Interests
Indian classical languages, topical linguistics, Indian classical music, mathematical visualisations, etc.
Languages, Frameworks, and Tools
I have a working proficiency in several programming paradigms, including systems-level languages (C/C++, minimal x86 assembly), high-level scripting (Python, Processing), web development (JavaScript, Perl, Ruby, PHP), object-oriented languages (Java, Swift), and document preparation systems (LaTeX).I have some experience working with popular technologies like p5.js, node.js, D3, OpenCV, postgres, and Unix- and Linux-based environments. I have experience in web development with many popular frameworks including Svelte, React, Jekyll, django, Ruby on Rails, EmberJS, etc.
While I know how to use many technologies, over time I have come to value simplicity and information density over pomp and show, which is why I usually roll my own mini-frameworks for my projects.
