About Me

• I grew up in New Delhi, India. At the age of 11 I taught myself to code and made MSN Messenger bots so I could impress the girls I was too shy to talk to at school.
• I moved to the US after college to pursue a Ph.D. at Princeton, where I taught programming and algorithms to undergrads.
• I dropped out of my Ph.D. to become a Product Manager at Facebook. I started the Facebook Blood Donation project at a company hackathon in 2015 and helped Facebook Messenger become the fastest growing app on the App Store in 2016.
• Since 2017, I have been building Machine Learning products at Square and DoorDash. I have applied ML to logistics, marketing and growth.
• I am a firm believer in the potential for Machine Learning to usher in a new era of personal freedom for humanity.

Also

• I’ve authored several scientific papers and patents on Machine Learning and Theoretical Computer Science. I co-authored one of the first published papers on ranking Facebook’s newsfeed.
• I’m in a movie on Netflix and a music video on YouTube.
• I help organize Camp Ideate at Burning Man. I burned in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
• I produce electronic music as a creative hobby.
