Brief

I have always been fascinated by technology. As an 18-year-old, I’m passionate, creative and dedicated towards my goals - ready to take on the challenges of the world. I am a tech blogger, and my own blog ‘Technonerds’ has achieved over 1 Million page visits. I am a founding member of a student social organization Utopia, volunteering to make a better society. Currently, I am a student at The University of British Columbia, studying computer science. I work with UBC's IdeasXChange as Webmaster and Social Media Manager. 

Being enthusiastic about trying new things, I have done everything from producing a documentary film to teaching high school students computer skills. I also enjoy photography, and I upload my pictures to Unsplash so that you can access it for free.

"My aim is to use artificial intelligence to develop smart, autonomous vehicle technology for developing countries like India."
