"
I like to understand people.I like to create things.I love working in a startup.I did a PhD, then got bored with working in the lab and moved to creating software.I live in San Francisco with my husband.We go hiking,watch too many movies,and don’t listen to enough music.I am originally from India and think of both San Francisco and Delhi as home.I want to travel to South America next.I hate writing in the third person,but am not above doing it when needed.If I am speaking at your conference,grab bios and pics from here."
