Journey from Vadodara
I grew up in Vadodara and moved to Seattle for my MS in Computer Science and Systems at UW Tacoma. That shift taught me to adapt fast, stay grounded, and keep learning through real work.

My Story
From Vadodara to Tacoma, building useful systems with ownership and purpose.
How I Build
I see code as more than syntax. Coming from a family with business roots, I naturally think about efficiency, resource optimization, and practical value. I focus on AI systems, data pipelines, backend services, and distributed engineering that are reliable and useful in real environments.
Leadership and Community
Outside classes, I contributed as a Giving Garden Assistant and grew in ISA from Secretary to President. Those roles strengthened my communication, teamwork, and execution under responsibility.
My Role Models: My Parents
My father taught me resilience, hard work, honesty, respect for elders, community, and money, and how to stay rational under pressure. My mother taught me empathy, to help others, understand different points of view, and learn good qualities from people around me.
