DEDICATED & PASSIONATE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
Fun Facts about me:)
BORN TO EXPRESS, NOT TO IMPRESS
The first time I ever cried on this planet was on 9th February 1996. I was born and bought up in Karnataka, India. I am the first person in my entire family to cross oceans and come to the USA to pursue my masters in electrical engineering. It's my passion and dedication to circuits which gave me the courage to choose this path. Whether it’s exploring unique opportunities, learning additional skills, or meeting new people, I bring these values to every experience throughout my life on a personal and professional level. Apart from circuits and coding, I am also interested in photography and quilling.

FOOD SERVICE WORKER, FRESHII, TEXAS, USA
February 2018 - May 2019
First on-campus job which makes me feel more independent as I manage my rent and groceries (far away from home), with my own hard-earned money. From food being served to my table to serving food to others, I learned the value of each cent. It helped me to gain more friends during the journey, in a place where I hardly know anyone. Working and studying is an illustration of my hard work and dedication.

Education
Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself. - John Dewey
I am blessed to come from a family who always encourages education. I was always among the top 10 in my class. It does not mean that I was a nerd. I was also active in sports and other extracurricular activities, which has made me a multitasker now. My education has not only provided the foundation for the rest of my experiences but has also made me a lifelong learner who is eager to gain more skills and knowledge.

My Skills
It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skills. - Wilbur Wright
No matter the role or project, I’m confident in the skill set I bring to the table. As an electrical engineer, I can design a circuit using integrated circuits and other components.
