About

Hi, I’m Adi! I’m a high schooler interested in robotics, machine learning, and building technology that helps us make sense of the world around us.

Being able to express my creativity has always been something that is very important to me. I love drawing, playing music, and finding different ways to turn ideas into something tangible. That’s a big part of why I’ve become so drawn to robotics and reinforcement learning, as they give me another way to be creative, experiment, and build things. What I enjoy most is being able to use what I learn to make a difference beyond just the technology itself. In the future, I hope to work on problems where I can use engineering and creativity to help people, animals, or the world around us.

Robotics is a big part of what I do and who I am. I'm captain of Radicubs Robotics, one of the largest community robotics teams in the DFW area, leading a team of nearly 50 students and working with people who are just as excited about building things as I am.

Outside of robotics, I love drawing and playing music. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and it’s still one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I also play Indian classical violin, which is something I really value for keeping me connected to my roots.

I’m also a big fan of music, movies, and books. My favorite album is In Rainbows by Radiohead, my favorite movie is Interstellar, and my favorite book is East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

Interests

Like I mentioned above, I’ve always been an artistic person. I’ve loved drawing for as long as I can remember, and it’s still something I come back to whenever I have the time. I listen to all kinds of music, but Dominic Fike is probably my favorite artist, and In Rainbows is my favorite album of all time. I also love reading, East of Eden, which I recently finished, is one of my favorites, along with The Silent Patient. Outside of that, I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with friends, and learning new things simply because I’m curious about them.

Recently, my work with Geologic Dome has shown me how robotics and engineering can be used to solve real problems and make a difference in people’s lives. I’ve become fascinated by how much these technologies can do, and I want to use them to help people and animals in the future. There are so many ways to make that happen, and that meaningful work is what I ultimately want to work toward.
