Profile

01. About Me

I’m a Computer Science undergraduate who enjoys building things that actually get used. I like working close to the problem—understanding why something needs to exist before deciding how to build it. I’m a Linux enthusiast (I use Fedora, btw 🎩)

Beyond code, I care deeply about people and communities. I’ve spent the last few years building and supporting tech communities—organising hackathons and events, mentoring teams, and helping others get started.
So far, I’ve worked as a Hackathon Organiser (x7), Hackathon Mentor (x4), and organised 50+ tech events across 10+ cities.

Working setup
Conducting AceHack 4.0 Roadshow at Microsoft Office, Gurugram
