hi, i'm shalini!

🪼 I'm a third-year student studying Technology & Information Management and Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz. My focus is on interactive technologies, product design, and data engineering, where I've built projects that combine design, data, and systems thinking to create impactful, user-centered tools. I'm especially interested in how thoughtful design and technical rigor can turn ideas into immersive, intuitive experiences.

In my free time, I love being outdoors at the beach, playing guitar, going to concerts, and collecting smiskis!
