    "summary": "I'm a software engineering intern at Stellantis and a student at MAIT Delhi and IIT Madras. Most of what I make lives somewhere between a Python API, a queue, and a model that needs a home. Outside of work you'll find me tinkering with side projects, tuning my dotfiles, or reading manga. The background of this page is Conway's Game of Life. Go ahead, poke it.",
