I'm originally from Mumbai, affectionately known as Maya-Nagri—the "City of Magic." After completing my college education, I worked in my hometown for about 3–4 years. Before moving to the U.S., I also spent a couple of years in Vienna, working as a Software Engineer at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

In 2013, I moved to the U.S. to pursue an MS in Computer Science at California State University, Long Beach—and it was love at first sight with California.

I'm a passionate soccer fan and a proud AC Milan supporter. Most of my wardrobe is a mix of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers and DesignByHumans t-shirts—you'll rarely catch me in anything else. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, biking around San Francisco, and listening to classic rock.
