Hi! I am so excited to be a part of the course staff this quarter and work with you all. A little about me outside of computing: I was born and raised in India and moved to Bellevue, WA in middle school. I am a sophomore also pursuing a degree in Political Economy. I enjoy learning about markets, economies, and policy and eventually plan on incorporating those concepts with data science/analysis. Looking forward to meeting you all!
