Outside the screen

Interests

What I read, dance, watch, and think about when I'm not in front of a terminal.

Desert island books

The books I would take with me if I were marooned on a desert island. Check them off as you go.

Music

I've trained in Bharatanatyam for over a decade at Nrityam Dance Academy and won Best Choreography at Festival of India. I dabble in hip hop, Bollywood fusion, piano, vocals, and songwriting. A few of the songs I have written and recorded live in my garden. If I'm not at a computer, I'm usually singing or moving to something.

Bharatanatyam performance Dancing since childhood

Other loves

Chess shaped how I think about patterns. I've ranked in the top 34 female players in my age group through USCF and still play casually. I've competed in Shakespeare monologue and sonnet competitions, and was cast as Marci in my high school production of Almost, Maine.

Offline, you can find me cooking something new, choreographing, falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, or over-engineering a Notion template.

Say hi
