Where did you grow up? I was born in India, and moved to Singapore when I was a toddler. I lived there for a couple years until I was finished with Kindergarten, at which point I moved to Santa Clara, California, where I've lived ever since. How much programming have you done (& what languages)? I actually had no background in programming until I took CS10 this past summer. Right now, I'm taking CS61A where I'm learning python. What are your hobbies? I love to read, and I also watch a ton of TV shows! Some of my favorites include Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Suits, White Collar, and The Vampire Diaries. What are some of your talents & skills? I was captain of my debate team in high school so some skills that I learned from that include public speaking, argumentation and research. I also love to sing! Have you done anything remarkable? Has anything memorable happened to you? I had an internship last year where I learned how to do open heart surgical procedures including coronary artery bypass grafts and valve replacements. I also got to watch an open heart surgery and it was one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed! What commitments will be consuming your cycles this semester? This semester I hope to intern for the ASUC and for INDUS, and work with the EdX team on their CS10 project.
