About
I love building things, from systems and tools to ideas that solve challenging problems! I like building projects where I can break down complex constraints, prototype quickly, and iterate until something actually works. Most of my experience is in software engineering, ML-driven systems, and backend infrastructure, but the common thread is simple, I enjoy figuring things out. I’ve worked on research and engineering teams in high-performance computing, security, and machine learning, and I’ve spent a lot of time teaching and mentoring other students. These experiences shape how I approach problems: focus on fundamentals, understand the constraints, and build with intention. I’m always on the lookout for opportunities where I can take ownership of problems end to end, learn from great teammates, and ship work that makes a real impact! If you have an interesting idea, let's chat!

Artificial Intelligence
In this highly selective course comprising of only 17 students worldwide, students were taught how intelligent systems learn to do given tasks, and how optimization algorithms are used in Artificial Intelligence. Students were also introduced to Mathematical background of Machine Learning and they developed their own machine learning and deep learning programs.

Program in Algorithmic & Combinatorial Thinking
The program taught by Professor Rajiv Gandhi, Professor at University of Pennsylvania, covered the mathematical foundations of Computer Science including topics in discreet mathematics such as systematic counting and methods of proof. The proof techniques included induction and basic graph theory to prove various theorems. Additionally, students were exposed to combinatorics and probability, set theory, advanced permutations and combinations, conditional probability, linearity of expectations, Big-O notation, cryptography, and planar graph coloring.

Financial Markets
This course was designed to provide students an introduction to the field of finance, exploring the institutions, instruments and economics of financial markets. Starting with an introduction to economic models of the financial systems, students explored issues like how it creates value and how it fits into the larger macro economy. This course further progressed to discuss theories of asset pricing, exploring the efficient markets hypotheses and standard tools of valuation before turning to specific instruments as applications.

This program was designed for high school students provided global perspectives, holistic learning and ethical engagement through theme-based experimental learning in interdisciplinary areas – Law, Justice and Democracy; Business Management, Leadership and Entrepreneurship; Diplomacy, International Relations and Peace; Economy, Public Policy and Development; Liberal Arts, Culture and Humanities; Media Communication and Public Affairs; Architecture, Planning and Sustainability; and Banking, Finance and Accounting.
