About Me
Hi there, I’m Sangita! I completed my Masters and Bachelors in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
With experience in developing for applications of Augmented Reality 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!
