Hello!
My name is Pradyoth. You might be struggling to pronounce my name, but don’t worry. I’ve had quite a bit of experience with this. In fact, I even wanted to change my name because people would often butcher it even when I corrected them. However, after learning it’s meaning in my native language, Telugu, and its significance to my parents, my perception of my name changed. Instead of thinking of it as an impediment to getting along with others, I now use it as a reminder to keep a positive mindset.
I also enjoy solving complex problems. Currently, I am in a multivariable calculus class where I get to do what I feel I do best. I love setting up problems so I can identify patterns and determine the best method for solving them. Even if I don’t get the correct answer, I always learn a new approach to a problem, which is my favorite part.
Finally, I’m a big fan of Bay Area sports. Over the past decade, I have seen the highest of highs (like the Warriors’ NBA title in 2015) and the lowest of lows (like the 2016 49ers season). You’ll definitely see plenty of sadness from me when one of my teams loses. When you see me whip out my traditional Indian snacks, you’ll know my team suffered a loss and I’m eating my feelings. Feel free to try murukkus, which are my favorite!
Those are some things about me. So, what are you like?
