About Me

I’m a recent graduate of IIT Roorkee, enthusiastic about Interdisciplinary and Applied Research involving Data. I am keen on designing computational solutions for problems in healthcare. I aim to create positive impact through my work, and try to strike a balance in everything I do :)

I started my MS in Applied Computing at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto from Fall 2022.

As a person, I’m chirpy- I adore striking conversations with new people and knowing more about them. I am a passionate debater and have represented my University at various levels. I’m involved in the campus journalistic activites and also love playing Badminton. I do well in diverse team-based environments and prize effective communication in my approach.
