About

The short version

Hi! My name is Arnav and I am a student at Cornell University studying Computer Science and Economics and minoring in Stats. I love building random side projects and pulling apart other people’s products to work out why they do or don’t click. In my free time I love to watch and play basketball while shooting random photos.
