I'm an Integrated PhD student in Learning, Information and Data Sciences at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Before that, I did my Bachelors in Mathematics (Honours) at Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre.

I'm really into exploring cool stuff ✨! Be it coding up a random python script for a minor inconvenience, or going down deep rabbit holes to try to solve random questions.

• ♟️ Chess (I've got FIDE rating!)
• 🧑‍💻 Competitive Programming (Here's my CodeForces {newbie 😔}!)
• ✍️ Writing about random stuff (Read my blog!)
• 🌏 Exploring the intersection of humanities, mathematics and system sciences

I'm tinkering with three personal projects right now:

• jokkho: A simple point-of-sale system for a personal store setting
• BookManager: A web frontend to keep track of where everything is in my family's book collection
• name to be decided?: Imma keep this a secret for now 🤫

Projects I'm rather proud of will show up here soon. Stay tuned!
