i have time-varying interests that i pursue for my own pleasure and sanity.

back in the day, i spent many years learning and playing indian classical on the violin. i trained till my vishaarad (equivalent of a ba in music). subsequently, in mumbai, i was part of an indian fusion band called bunty.

from 2011-2015, i was an avid kaggler and spent countless hours competing on kaggle. at one point, i was ranked 39 among more than 100,000 competitors from around the world.

i have been learning deutsch and coffee brewing. ich bin noch gut in keinem.
