About Me
A junior at IIIT-Hyderabad, I am interested in the fields of Math and Computer Science. I am also a tech geek, programmer, undergraduate researcher and software developer. A cinephile, I dream to someday direct a short film of my own. I am also interested in photography, music, and public speaking.Educational Background
