About

Triangulated profile picture

Hello! My name is Vivek, and I'm an aspiring engineer from California's great Central Valley.

I was first exposed to the world of engineering on my high school's robotics team, where I spent hundreds of hours learning how to code and applying math and physics skills from the classroom.

After high school, I attended UCLA to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, which I completed in June of 2024. My college career brought a lot of challenges, altogether which brought me out of my shell and helped me understand what I truly care about within the world of engineering and beyond.
