About
I'm Naman. I grew up in India and Singapore, and now live in Boston, where I study Computer Science and Business at Northeastern.
I got into software during my first semester of college. Since then, I've worked at startups, Philips, and Sonos, and a lot of side projects. Lately, I've been interested in backend systems and tools that make building software easier.
At school, I run TAMID's software engineering track, teach, and build software for nonprofits through Code4Community. Outside of that, I like playing guitar, music, lifting, and Clash Royale.
