So what's the excuse?
I'm not good enough, I did something wrong, I’m not perfect...
Nobody asked anyone to be perfect, we just asking people to be honest
You’re a leader, lead!

More about me🦚

Now that you know many things about my skills and education, here are some details about my fun side. When I am not reading research papers or writing code, I love to watch movies. You might think I am some movie buff who watches only critically acclaimed films, but no. I watch a lot of raunchy comedy and a ton of gangster movies, along with some science fiction. I mostly rewatch The Social Network, Grown Ups, Succession, and Silicon Valley. I like R&B and hip-hop, as you might have noticed from the quote at the top of the site, and also some good Indian music I grew up listening to. UConn is a beautiful campus all year; I love walking around. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream at UConn's dairy bar is my all-time favorite, and I had lots of it last summer. UConn is famous for its sports, and I have been to at least one game of every sport as a grad student (It's hard to achieve that ).

Why I love UConn:
Books I read recently:
Whole Numbers and Half Truths by Rukmini S., Quantum Computing from Colossus to Qubits by John Gribbin, The Euro by Joseph E. Stiglitz, Amazon Unbound by Brad Stone, Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
