👋 About Me
I am an engineer by degree but a generalized specialist in work. I took a break at the start of the year to learn more about the non-engineering aspects of a business, and that's when I joined Stoa's General Management Program, it helped me acquire strong business fundamentals. Right now, I am looking for the next step in my career.
A bit about the way I think and operate:
- Whatever I am working on, the 'why' is very important to me, that keeps me going
- I like to take ownership of things from 0 → 1 and love to work together in a team
- I am a quick learner and go getter (Nadia can vouch for this)
- When approaching a problem I consider myself an amateur, not an expert know-it-all to avoid preconceived notions
Notable Achievements
- Scaled the friends of figma program to 4x in India in 2 years, solving challenges during COVID times.
- Led learning initiatives at Tinkerhub Foundation, designing and executing over 5 learning programs.
- Built mendor space, a product that attracted users but didn't ultimately take off.
- Raised sponsorship worth over $15,000 for ingress hack. This was the first hackathon in India sponsored by Figma and the first in Kerala sponsored by O'Reilly.
- Most favorite one is building the GDSC community at my college, here's a glimpse
