I grew up in New Delhi, India. Right after completing my undergrad, I moved to USA to pursue a PhD in computer science. I have lived in Cincinnati (Ohio), Seattle (Washington), Charlotte (North Carolina), and Orlando (Florida). I moved to New York City in 2012 and made it my home! For work, I manage a team of Artificial Intelligence scientists at mega corporation. For pleasure, I like working out, reading (a lot of topics including finance, technology, spirituality), playing chess, and meeting new people. Very recently I started to learn to cook Indian food. I am interested in learning to cook other cuisines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am recently divorced and I decided that life is too short. I want to travel, visit new places, host other nationalities, and learn as much as I can about people in the limited time I have! I look forward to making memorable friends.
