Srirupa Datta
Hi, I am Srirupa (IRC: sriru:matrix.org). I am currently a Software Developer at Morgan Stanley, interested in pursuing research in Computer Science. My research interests focus on the intersection of deep learning, computer vision, and computer graphics. Coupled with my passion for digital art and contributions to Krita, I am driven to explore the integration of AI and creative technologies, particularly in areas like 3D modeling, animation, and motion tracking.
Currently, I am working with Prof. Sanjoy Kumar Saha on developing a robust framework for classifying motor movements and imagery, while balancing my full-time role as a Software Developer. I joined Morgan Stanley in 2023, where I am involved in a data migration project and responsible for maintaining financial data on the cloud (Snowflake). In the summer of 2023, I also contributed to Krita (KDE) as part of Google Summer of Code under the mentorship of Emmet O’Neill. During this project, I redesigned Krita’s Bundle Creator, a tool that enables users to create compressed files called Resource Bundles, which house collections of resources. I also added the capability to edit these bundles, enhancing the tool’s functionality for the Krita community.
Before my graduation, I collaborated with Prof. Amit Konar and Prof. Sanjoy Kumar Saha on research projects that deepened knowledge of deep learning and signal processing. As a painter with a passion for software development, I actively contributed to Krita while also immersing myself in learning and practicing digital painting. During my undergraduate years, I had the opportunity to intern at Simon Fraser University in the summer of 2022 through the Mitacs Globalink Fellowship, where I gained valuable research experience. I graduated from Jadavpur University, India, in 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.

Work Experience
Morgan Stanley, Software Engineer II
Currently WorkingAs part of the Institutional Securities Department, worked on data transformation projects migrating finance reference data to Snowflake (Azure) and developed Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments. Contributed to optimizing legacy ETL functionality by converting Perl code to Python and improving performance with PySpark, while also enhancing a full-stack application using Python, Flask, and Angular.
Google Summer of Code, 2023
Redesigned Krita’s Bundle Creator into a resizable wizard with four distinct pages, improving its modularity and user interface. This tool allows users to create, manage, and edit resource bundles, with enhanced features like resource filtering, grid/list view toggling, and integration with Krita's Resource Database.
[About] [Code]
Morgan Stanley, Technology Analyst Intern, 2022
Worked on a firm-wide Greenplum decommission project, migrating from on-premises Greenplum to Snowflake (Azure) to optimize cost efficiency. Developed scripts to automate the migration of stage and dimension tables, greatly reducing manual effort and streamlining the process for Cost Reporting and Balance Sheet.
Season of KDE, 2022
Developed a Perspective Ellipse Assistant in Krita that is used for accurately drawing ellipses within a square, ensuring proper alignment in perspective. This tool streamlines the process by automating perspective projection, enhancing precision and efficiency in digital art creation.
