About

I go by Ano. I love building things and keeping up with technology. I love music as much as I love computers, sometimes maybe a little more. I am curious about economics, politics, finance, and a little bit of history.

It's inevitable that you will meet a failure or two, or three, or four (right)

At the same time, the art itself, the product of that obsession

That obsessive kind of way of working

Is the paradigm for all that is free and spontaneous

I have worked as a software engineering co-op at Amazon Robotics and Susquehanna International Group, where I was given a problem space and had to come up with a solution myself. I have noticed that I thrive in places where I have a greater degree of ownership. It allows me to take part in the whole product lifecycle: prototyping in Figma, building the frontend with React, designing API contracts, writing high-performance servers, modelling data, and deploying the application.

Go is currently my language of choice, but I am also a big fan of .NET Core, TypeScript, and, of course, Python. I am also experimenting with Rust and Zig.

I spent most of my time in college participating in, mentoring at, judging, and hosting hackathons, as well as building startups that are now defunct.

Serving as a Teaching Assistant at CCI, Drexel has been one of my most fulfilling experiences.

Courses I've TA'd:

• CI-101: Intro to Software Development
• CS 260: Data Structures and Algorithms
• CS 270: Mathematical Foundations of Computers
• CS 277: Algorithms and Analysis
• CS 283: Computer Architecture
• CS 380: Artificial Intelligence
• CS 375: Web Development

Before coming to Drexel, I founded Max Q India (now defunct), where I spent my time raising awareness of space education in India. We built CubeSats and model rockets and helped a few fellow startups. I started the organisation at 15, motivated by a desire to give back and learn. Building something that leaves Earth on its mission has been a life-changing experience.
