About Me

I love to learn, to read, to travel, to drink beer, and to have deep conversations. I enjoy walking on the streets and exploring new places and meeting different people. I get excited to connect on a deeper level.

I was born and brought up in India. Fun times! Then I moved to the US to pursue my B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech. I worked in California for over 2.5 years as a Medical Engineer (not so fun times!). I didn't much buy into the American dream and decided to pursue a masters degree and move to Europe. So here I am!

My 1st semester was in Paris, 2nd in Berlin, and I will be heading out to Madrid for my 3rd one! Currently, I am doing an internship at a Tech startup in Berlin. Super fun times!
