Hi! I'm Monish. I'm 18, studying Applied Math at Harvard, and I love building things that sense and act in the real world. I'm especially into robotics, computer vision, and ML, and I'm also into startups and behavioral economics. I'm always happy to chat about anything, so feel free to reach out :)
