I turn curiosity
into systems that
make an impact.
I’m Krishna — a Systems Design Engineering student building thoughtful technology at the intersection of software, AI, and human-centred design.
↓Learning widely.
Thinking deeply.
Hi, I’m Krishna :) I’m happiest when I’m learning something new and turning it into something useful for others.
I’m a Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who loves exploring how technology, design, and community connect. Whether I’m building software, learning more about my culture and identity, or contributing to the people around me, I’m motivated by curiosity and the chance to leave things a little better than I found them.

Ideas I’m
thinking through.
Occasional writing on technology, creativity, and paying closer attention.
Have a thoughtful project, a strange idea,
or just want to say hello?
worth caring about.
