I grew up in India asking questions that didn't always have clean answers — how do systems learn, why do people make the decisions they do, what's actually happening inside the brain when something clicks. Computer engineering gave me a framework for the first question. Studying AI deepened it. And somewhere along the way, that same pull toward understanding led me to neuroscience, and a growing conviction that the most interesting problems live at the intersection of data, behavior, and decision-making.
That's what brought me to Fuqua. Not just to sharpen my technical skills, though that's part of it, but to learn how to take what data reveals and turn it into something that actually guides strategy and action.
That same curiosity tends to follow me outside the classroom too. I came to reading late — I picked up my first book mostly out of curiosity, and never really stopped. Non-fiction is where I spend most of my time; The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest sits at the top of my list. Reading eventually turned me into someone who writes as well, which I didn't entirely plan. When I'm not doing either, I'm traveling, working out, or spending time with the people who matter most to me.
