My career path: After completing my BS, I worked for 2 years as a Software Analyst at AIG Data Services. I realized that I would like to design hardware rather than software and thus entered the MS program at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥. The various courses involving hardware design prepared me to work on real life problems involving power electronics circuits. I haveÌýworkedÌýin the domain of small size, low cost, high efficiency power adaptors. I have now moved to the exciting field of Electric Vehicles. I am working on designing and testing Electric school buses, trucks etc. and doing my bit in freeing fleets from fossil fuels.

My interest in being a Regional Network Ambassador: In this fast paced life, the human interaction is limited to your own domain. I am interested in learning about other professions, their challenges and success stories. As a recent alumni, I know the challenges faced by new Buffs and would like to help the ones moving to the Bay area.

Personal interests: Traveling, Hiking, History Podcasts, Meeting new people
