ABOUT

Hi, i'm Shalini! I'm a master's student at UC San Diego studying Computer Science and HCI.

I've always loved making things, whether it's music, LEGO builds, a new recipe, or something on a screen. I'm equally curious about figuring out how things work and why they work the way they do.

My engineering background has taken me across full-stack development, frontend, hardware, and data, giving me the opportunity to understand technology from different perspectives. Along the way, I've become increasingly interested in the intersection of technology and design, particularly how people interact and make decisions with AI.

I enjoy bringing together technical thinking and creative exploration to build experiences that are as thoughtful in how they work as they are in how people use them.
