About
I am a graduate student in Computer Science at SUNY Buffalo, currently specializing in AI and Machine Learning. In my first semester, I earned a perfect 4.0 GPA while overcoming a long personal battle with anxiety, making this period both an academic and emotional turning point in my life.
I hold a bachelor’s degree from IIT Hyderabad and bring over four years of professional experience in building real-world digital systems used at large scale. Coming from a modest background, I have learned to value discipline, resilience, and hard work. My goal is to use technology not just for personal success, but to create meaningful solutions that improve lives and give back to society.
