About me

I am a Ph.D. graduate in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on intelligent systems and robotics. Passionate about technology in all its facets, I have worked extensively on projects encompassing software, hardware, and everything in between. I have a particular affinity for IoT, Robotics, and AI. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have actively engaged in STEM outreach activities. I have a track record of success in hackathons, such as securing the first place in the Microsoft Hackathon, and entrepreneurship competitions.

Furthermore, I have entrepreneurial experience, having successfully exited my first startup in the IoT Domain. As a rainmaker and innovator at my startup, I relish the opportunity to utilize my skills in commercializing technology.

Finance is my newfound interest and in my free time, I analyze Indian and US public companies, seeking investment opportunities. An aspiring private equity investor, I invest sweat and/or capital, driving innovation and empowering startups to soar to new heights.
