About Me
Hi there, I’m Sangita! I completed my Master's and Bachelors in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I am an aspiring software engineer with a passion for building web applications and designing intuitive user experiences. With experience in developing for applications of AR and industry/research experience in software engineering, I always enjoy tackling complex problems to improve user experiences and leverage human-AI interaction. When I’m not coding or designing, you can find me at the gym, trying out a new recipe I found on Instagram, or bullet journaling!
