"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" – Dr. Seuss

This perfectly captures my career philosophy. I am passionate about building technology that makes a real-world impact, which has led me to explore domains beyond a typical CS curriculum. I am pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Columbia University with a focus on AI, machine learning, and healthcare applications.

I have coded, developed and patented innovations in healthcare and assistive technology to take a step at competing in various domains alongside industry leaders. I have led technical workshops, hackathons, and collaborative software projects, while also mentoring teams in developing solutions like traffic speed detection systems and IoT-based health monitoring platforms.

I thrive at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and AI-powered solutions, constantly seeking opportunities to solve meaningful problems and seek innovation that impacts people's lives.
