/ about
I'm a third year CSE undergrad at IIIT Sri City who enjoys building things and understanding how systems work behind the scenes. I like stepping into new domains and figuring things out as I go. I'd say I'm a curious learner and fairly adaptable. I enjoy taking on problems that are new to me and learning whatever is needed to solve them.
