I am an undergraduate student pursuing B.E.(Hons.) Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, India.
I believe in taking new initiatives, venturing in diverse fields and learning from all the experiences and activities that I get engaged in. I like to set my priorities right to achieve my targets and give my best at whatever I do.
Greatly looking forward to a fruitful experience of learning, coding, skill acquisition, networking and community development this summer!

PowerUp (iOS) - Systers Project Abstract- A female empowerment educational app that allows young girls (12 to 14) to learn about reproductive health and self-esteem by navigating the life of their avatar. Through this project, I hope to implement features that would serve as better options for educating preadolescents who are at risk for pregnancy and spread of sexually transmitted infection(STI) due to lack of information about the associated risks and responsibilities.

- I was travelling and my time zones were varying and I also had limited internet connectivity so it was difficult to get in touch with the team and update the wiki page of Progress reports.
