About Me
A decade or two down the line, I would love to launch a consumer-facing hard tech venture. I am also into music production, socio-poitical activism, military stuff and comparative religion. My belief in absolute equality, world peace, love, individuality and internationalism stems from an avid interest in the Vedanta philosophy. Scroll down to know more!
2020 threw a curveball. I watched summer plans dissapear as I looked for projects to fill time. After expanding my LinkedIn network, I started getting messages from founders who were usually still in college with offers to do gigs for em - ranging all over the tech spectrum, from graphic design to webapps and producing audio-visual content to managing social media presence. Before I knew it, I was spending all my free time making websites, bots, and more. I started a startup, volunteered for NGOs and even did a few internships. I was blown away by what I could make with code. The open source community was so powerful, and all the amazing people I've met on GitHub have inspired me to do more.
Apart from programming, I'm a passionate environmentalist. I've collected over 120kgs+ of e-waste for recycling and developed a software solution to help people find e-waste centres. I'm into MUN, having founded NAFL's MUN club and winning the Oxford MUN Singapore. As a self-proclaimed YA novel aficionado, I can tear through a teen novel no matter how 'cringe' and still love it! I'm also a passionate member of my school book club, where I love the discussions we have on literature, philosophy, society, and feminism. On the left is my favourite book: Paper Towns by John Green, it's a novel that I can always read when I'm in a bad mood..
For unwinding, I love making memes to spread laughter but also start discussions on issues. As a huge f1 fan, I watch every race, no matter the time or date. As part of my f1 love, I also work as a freelancer for Sportskeeda, writing f1 articles.
