About Me

Always eager to learn/hack something new and interesting. Following the philosophy of always being hungry and foolish.
Life Objective: Put a dent in the universe.
Cofounder @BalanceAppHQ | Prev: Full-stack Engineer @credibase, Business Analyst @Citi |
Economist by Degree
Started off as INTJ, then life turned me into an eccentric INTP. Don't judge people anymore, and life seems so much better now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Found out about this through a friend who was hosting a few couchsurfers recently. Met them and found them quite warm and interesting.
This sounds like a perfect way to discover and meet people from all over the world.
Look forward to meeting up with interesting folks from this community. :)
PS: Will fill this up more as I get more experience with this community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went from being a theoretical econ/data-science guy to self-taught programmer to eventually be a tech cofounder in my own startup and now am able help thousands of people save money with the product I built from scratch.
Hoping to add cooler things soon :)

Teach, Learn, Share
