I am originally from India and have been living in Gainesville, FL since 2015. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from a premiere engineering institute in India, and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from University of Florida. I worked as a full-time OPS Web Developer with UF IFAS for 2 years after I graduated and before I started PhD program at UF Agricultural and Biological Engineering in August 2019. I am expected to graduate in May 2025.
I have experience working with Python, C++, Java, Flutter, and JavaScript, and numerous web and mobile technologies. I also garnered lot of experience developing Android applications and cross-platform desktop application as personal projects. My interests and experiences in fields of Electronics, and Computer science has led me to dive deeper into Internet of Things, which the framework of my PhD research project.
I have enjoyed building stuff, tearing stuff apart and putting them back together since I was in mid-school. Along the way on my journey to adulthood and professional life, I picked a few more things that intrigue me including digital music production, graphics- and video- editing, web designing, Kickboxing, and Salsa. I love learning new skills, both technical and otherwise, and I never plan to stop.
I have served as the President of and as an instructor at UF Kickboxing Club and Gator Salsa club. My involvement in extra-curricular activities have given me skills that complement my technical ones, and I hope I gain more leadership and managerial experiences in upcoming years.
