About Me

I am a Software Engineer currently working on getting my Master's degree in Chicago. That being said, I am as interested in things outside my house as I am about the things inside my Computer.

I love to ski, roller skate, skateboard. I am a beginner snowboarder, but it's been going down hill so far (see what I did there :p). I've been surfing twice and I can say with utmost certainty that I it is going to become a favorite past time activity as soon as I move to a place with a beach in close proximity. I'm always up for a game of soccer, badminton or table tennis, go on hikes, swim in the ocean, or anything else that has an (adventure calling) vibe to it! For some un-explainable reason(s) (although, I have many a hypothesis), I am strongly drawn towards sunsets, beaches and sunsets at beaches. I frequently find myself stargazing and getting time-lapses of the night sky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once drove to a national park at 1:00 in the morning to watch a Meteor Shower with a friend, only to realize that we had lost network connection in the middle of the forest in complete darkness, and still managed to get to a random peak with a great view of the night sky. The experience was well worth the temporary freaking out that I and my friend did :)
