About


I’m a Ph.D. Student @ Harvard working with Prof. Elena Glassman at Glassman Lab. I work in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Programming Languages.

Prior to this, I was a Master’s Student @ UCSD, where I worked with Prof. Philip Guo at the UCSD Design Lab. I was also fortunate to work in Microsoft Research India as a Research Fellow for two years, where I worked on a multitude of projects related to Information retrieval, developer tools, and programming accessibility.
