Hi, I'm Anish! I'm a senior @ UC San Diego and I'll be starting as a Software Engineer @ Databricks in April!

About

I’m majoring in data science, with a minor in math. My broad interests include probability, statistics, and computer vision.

In my free time I chase my hoop dreams, lift, watch standup comedy & documentaries, and try out different restaurants & recipes.
