When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. Just ask him. – Mad Men
I am a software engineer in Berlin, with expertise in full-stack development. So far, I had been doing a math PhD at the Humboldt-Universität in Berlin. You can get in touch via Twitter, LinkedIn or email.
Math research & teaching
I’m currently finishing my math PhD under Prof. Chris Wendl at the Humboldt-Universität in Berlin. My research focused on holomorphic curves in different contexts of symplectic/contact geometry.
My master’s thesis back at the Chennai Mathematical Institute focused on being a graduate introduction to J-holomorphic curves in symplectic topology.
Over 2015-19, I’ve assisted in teaching various mathematics and programming courses at CMI, aimed at bachelor’s and master’s students.
