I am an enthusiastic and curious person who is always hungry for new adventures and challenges (and Thai food :D).
I'm empathetic and have an immense love for products that shape the world. Growing up in a small town in Southern India, I have seen the transformational power digital products can have on people's lives. When I'm not at my laptop, you'll often find me finding solace in brewing tea and immersing myself in nature ☕️ 🏞️
Skills
