About Me

Get to know me and my educational journey

Who am I?

An international student from India with a passion for technology and innovation. My journey brought me to New Zealand, where I'm pursuing Computer Science at Auckland University of Technology, blending my cultural perspective with new experiences.

I'm particularly fascinated by artificial intelligence and its creative applications. From developing AI-powered games to exploring machine learning algorithms, I enjoy crafting solutions that merge technology with imagination. When not coding, you'll find me experimenting with new AI tools or capturing the beauty of Auckland's landscapes.
