About Me

I grew up in Bangalore, India and moved to the US in 2010. I’ve worked in tech for 10+ years as a PM at companies like Tripadvisor and iAsk.ai. I’m based in Chicago and I enjoy cycling, skiing, yoga, live music, films, and sci-fi novels.

I’ve started building in my spare time as a new hobby. A few recent projects:

Personal Chatbot [in progress]

A chatbot built on top of many years of journal entries that can answer questions from a wiser version of myself

A web-based nutritionist chatbot that provides personalized nutrition advice using AI
