I would describe myself as an outgoing and easygoing person who genuinely enjoys meeting people and building connections, but I also value personal space and quiet moments to recharge. I find balance important in all aspects of life, and I try to bring sincerity, thoughtfulness, and a positive mindset to everything I do.
I completed my Master's in Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University and currently work as a Senior Verification Engineer at Nvidia. My work offers a great balance between challenge and flexibility, allowing me to grow professionally while also enjoying time outside of work. I've always been passionate about this field and remain excited about learning, innovating, and exploring new interests along the way.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about football (soccer), I play regularly and closely follow the European leagues. I also enjoy watching tennis and occasionally join friends for badminton or pickleball.... more Recreation for me includes playing sports, cooking, spending time with friends, watching anime, and hiking. My recent solo trip to Nepal and Singapore in January 2025 was a refreshing experience, and Japan remains my dream destination, for the bullet trains, food, culture, and natural beauty.
I'm a foodie at heart. Though I have a low spice tolerance, I still love spicy food! My comfort cuisine is Mangalorean, but I also enjoy Thai, Mediterranean, and other global flavors. My music taste includes country, R&B, and soul, and I often use music to reset and unwind. I'm usually an organized person when I make plans, but I'm just as open to spontaneous adventures when the opportunity arises.
I come from a close-knit Mangalorean Catholic family originally from Mumbai. My father is a retired government employee, and my mother is a loving homemaker. My elder sister is married and currently settled in Toronto. Although living in the U.S. makes it harder to see each other often, I make it a point to visit home every Christmas, and my parents visit me in California once a year. My mother remains my go-to person and greatest source of calm and encouragement.
At this stage in life, I'm looking to connect with someone who is kind, open-minded, and grounded, someone who values both companionship and individuality. A shared sense of curiosity, respect, and warmth is something I would truly appreciate in a partner.
