About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the school of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. I specialize in Human-Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D).
Prof. Amy Ogan and Prof. Tim Brown are my amazing advisors. We work on building and evaluating low-cost technology to support teachers in low-resource contexts.
I recently passed my thesis proposal. Here is the draft of my thesis document.

Over the past 15 years, I have built technology on the web, Android, desktop, iOS, and hardware gadgets. I still love to make things but rarely do it for projects outside my research these days. After more than a decade of fancy portfolios, I decided to keep it simple this time.
Here are some selected projects:
Flask APIs at scale: APIs that served 4 million users at TeliportMe (where I was the Architect) WebGL viewer: I designed a 3D viewer for phone and web browsers on par with Google street view. Learn Kannada: An android application to teach a second language that has >10K downloads. Textin: A desktop application to send text messages and my first entrepreneurship venture Enginux: I helped build a custom Ubuntu derivative based on Linux Mint. Jedi Mouse: An interactive device that uses gestures and EEG data from the brain from the user to control the mouse.Hobbies
Cooking: I am good at cooking South Indian food, but I occasionally try vegetarian cuisines from other cultures. Sketching: I love to draw cartoon characters, and I usually draw them with a positive message. Meditation: I follow the heartfulness practice regularly. Learning French: As much as I can. Chess: I play Blitz and Bullet on chess.comContact
