Introduction

I am a third year Computer Science student studying here at UC San Diego. I was born in India, but grew up in Fremont, CA almost my entire life. Here are a couple more things about me:

• I love watching sports. My favorite sport teams are the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco 49ers. I also keep up to date with track and field news, especially the sprinting events
• I only use one form of social media, which is Reddit
• In my free time, I love to walk or jog on the trails in my hometown
  • My frequent choice of trails are the ones in Coyote Hills
    
• I have to listen to music when I’m practically doing anything (even studying!)
  • My favorite genre is Hip-Hop/R&B and my favorite artists include Smino, Isaiah Rashad, Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean, and Young Thug
  • I also love to listen to older music from time to time including artists like Elton John, the Beatles, and Prince
    • My favorite song from Elton John is Don’t Go Breaking My Heart

My goals

Here are a couple of goals I set for myself in the short-term and long-term:

Short-Term

• Finish this assignment
• Do well in my classes for this quarter
• Build beneficial habits like waking up earlier, meditating, and exercising more frequently
• Try to get an internship or a part-time job for the summer
• Learn to cook!
• Take skincare more seriously!

Long-Term

• Land a decent gig as a new graduate
• Learn to invest and manage finances
• Travel to all the different countries I always wanted to visit
• Find a role in the education sector to bridge tech and free/low-cost education to the under-priveleged
• Do not take a single day for granted!

Some Other Stuff About Me

• My favorite quote is that from George Carlin:

  Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

• To this day, I have not tried anything that pleases my tastebuds more than the Spicy Deluxe sandwich from Chick-fil-a
• Over quarantine, I developed a web application as a personal project that searches for available food choices and plots their locations on a map
  • To play with the app in Docker, run docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --name foodbox-app hbattu/foodbox
  • To stop the app, run docker stop foodbox-app
  • I also hosted the app using an AWS Elastic Beanstalk instance
