technology has intrigued me from a young age where i have deeply been in awe of exploring the underlying science and its infinite ability to solve problems. as i grew older, my intrigue spilled over towards business where i developed a deep fascination towards understanding the role of economics and psychology in democratizing technology. i'm interested to work on solving problems at the intersection of technology and business which can create large impact.
