STUDENT / RESEARCH & WRITING
I like making things
and figuring them out.
I’m a student in Navi Mumbai. I build software, study how decisions work, and write about the questions that stay with me.
A simulation, a team prototype and an operations-research study. Here’s what I contributed and what the work showed.
I set up the simulation, separated calibration from confirmation, and compared ways to allocate computation.
WHAT HAPPENEDThe cheaper control matched the observed success count. More computation did not establish an advantage in this conditional study.
I managed the project with a team of juniors at my school, contributed to hardware and software, and worked on the finances, pitch and presentation.
WHAT HAPPENEDThe software makes readings traceable and missing data explicit. Independent field validation remains open.
I formulated the capacity-and-information problem, implemented the solver comparisons and wrote the research manuscript.
WHAT HAPPENEDNo algorithm led in every regime. Three of five cities passed a validation criterion that required four.
Four allocation policies and a cheaper, fixed control faced the same 64 confirmation batches. Would spending more computation improve the result?
Different subjects, each starting with something I wanted to understand.
I wanted to understand who gets left out of financial advice. This paper asks whether robo-advisors could widen access, and what protection people would need when they use them.
Read at One Young India ↗A page working on one screen tells you very little about the next. I wrote this at Quash to explain how to choose useful browser tests, from touch interactions to the layouts people actually see.
Read at Quash ↗I wrote this as a student trying to weigh what technology adds to a classroom against what it can interrupt. Better access, distraction and dependence all belonged in the same conversation.
Read at Apeejay Newsroom ↗Essays on Alexandria and moral motives, plus Ticker Heartbeats, a novel in progress.
Essays & fiction ↗Guitar practice, a novel I keep revising, and the people I’ve worked with. There’s more to me than the project list.
