Hi there! I’m Aditya, a junior majoring in CS and Math. Two years ago, I had a great experience taking 127, and have since cherished my time on the course staff for the last two semesters. Outside of school, I love staying active by playing basketball, going to the gym, biking, or rock climbing. This semester, I’m excited about catching some NBA games and attending concerts. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
