I grew up in Meerut, an hour outside Delhi. I read constantly, argue competitively, and carry a camera most places I go.

What connects my work is access. Some people can't read a webpage comfortably. Some can't afford their next book. Both are engineering problems as much as social ones, and I like solving them.

I speak four languages and code in several. I'm most interested in where computer science meets economics, and that's where I plan to keep working.
