I’m someone who builds, not just machines, but communities, systems, and stories worth sharing.

Born and raised in India, I came to ASU to study Robotics Engineering and Technological Entrepreneurship, but quickly found that leadership was just as much a part of me as design and logic. I became the first international student elected as Student Body President at ASU Polytechnic, not because I had all the answers, but because I asked the right questions. What do students need? Who isn’t being heard? What would it look like if we truly built a campus for everyone?

I led with those questions, representing over 181,000 ASU students, managing a $1.1 M+ budget, mentoring a 40+ person team, and advocating for change from classrooms in Arizona to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. I sat on university-wide boards, worked on student tech policy, and brought forward issues that often go unseen, especially for international and underrepresented students.

But at my core, I’m not defined by a title or a term. I’m an engineer who loves solving problems with elegance. A visual thinker who finds clarity through a camera lens. A quiet strategist who leads with empathy, precision, and intent.

I believe in designing systems that outlive positions. In leadership that invites, not imposes. And in a future where innovation and inclusion aren’t separate goals, but deeply intertwined.

That’s the kind of future I’m working to help build: one decision, one project, and one opportunity at a time.
