Bio
Hi! My research interests lie in designing and developing financial technologies and systems that challenge conventional assumptions about tech innovation, such as efficiency, scalability, and generalizability. Before starting my PhD in 2022, I worked as a software developer at Oracle India, where I collaborated on several large-scale cloud computing projects with clients worldwide. My prior academic training is in computer science and economics from BITS Pilani, India.
Fun Facts: I was a national-level Badminton player back in India. I am a certified level 1 Ashtanga Yoga instructor. I have also dabbled with Ice skating, skiing, golf, table tennis, dodgeball, cycling, snooker, and swimming
