Hey! Welcome!

I’m Pooja. (Pooja means prayer or worship in Hindi)

I’m a positive, passionate, and an adventurous spirit who likes to challenge and push the boundaries of my life.
With a curious and focused mind set, I find growth opportunities in the worst case scenarios.
I’m religious, kind and charitable. I’m a poly math, a go-getter.

I dive with whales, and thousands of sharks, often planning epic live-aboard adventures across the globe, following the migration patterns of large pelagic species. I love UFC/MMA, racing motorcycles, sky diving, surfing, hiking, and everything high adrenaline. At home, I stay productive by cooking, gardening, researching, learning Vedic scriptures and writing.

I currently work as a Data Scientist at NASA and have worked as an Engineer, an Analyst and a Senior Consultant for the United States Government and many large biotechnology firms across the country for the past decade.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I’m grateful and excited to learn whatever you can teach well. Information exchange is an undervalued currency. How about you give me a your best non-fiction book recommendation?

I can teach you how to design systems, trade, code, cook, ride a motorbike, hunt in my backyard, surf, and give you scuba diving lessons in my pool 🏊‍♀️

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

At my house I do all the work by myself including hedge/ tree trimming, pool maintenance, landscaping, plumbing, cooking, cleaning, lifting heavy stuff, so don’t feel shy to ask me for help with your household chores. Let me know how I can be of service. I will assist with whatever is needed in and around the house to the best of my ability.
