Hello, I’m Pranav.

I grew up in Austin, Texas and first learned to code in BASIC when I was 11. Eventually, I went to Cornell to study computer science. There, I found myself most interested in machine learning, markets, and math.

In high school, I joined the policy debate team, which was the most rewarding experience of my life. I won a national tournament and was ranked second in the United States along with my partner. We also won an international championship (in a different event).

I also spent some working on robotics (designing hardware), where our team ranked in the top three alliances at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) world championship.

I'm taking some time of school to work on Endurance with some of my friends from my high school debate team.
