About

I'm a Senior Undergraduate student at BITS Pilani studying Electronics & Communication Engineering alongside Economics. Besides my curriculum, I have an interest in cutting-edge CS technologies, particularly AI & Blockchain. In my work experiences outside of college, I have tried to support these interests with concrete deliverables for my employers. I'm a keen learner trying to explore through my undergraduate to circle down to narrower interests by 'doing'. I shall be more than happy to engage if you have any relevant opportunities!
