Hi! 👋

I’m Rohit, a fourth year Computer Science undergrad at the University of Waterloo. Have a look at my timeline for a detailed listing of my varied experiences.

Originally, I come from Bangalore, India, informally known as the Silicon Valley of India, and rightly so in my opinion. I witnessed the growth of myriad small businesses¹ (into large national and multi-national corporations) throughout my childhood. This demonstrated the power of ideas and the technology of bringing them to life. Evidently, my formative years in Bangalore inspired me to become a Computer Scientist.

Apart from spending my hours trying to ideate and write code that impacts many industries, or increases my understanding of them, I take pride partaking in a broad spectrum of activities :-

I am an avid reader, and you can find more information about my readings, writings and publications here.

I have always been highly fond of sports, and of either experiencing them visually or physically (or both). Some sports|teams that I identify with are:

Sport	Team/Player
🏀	Los Angeles Lakers
🎾	Rafael Nadal
🎱	Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis
⚽	Manchester United

I love being outdoors and spending time in the midst of nature, especially while hiking, kayaking, cottaging or surfing.
Stargrazing is another one of my go-to activities (where 💡 pollution is minimal of course), reminding me of our humble place in this Universe!

Some of my other hobbies include playing tennis, the guitar and constantly learning just about anything!
