About me

Hey there! I'm Naman Maheshwari, a senior at SRM Institute of Science and Technology (formerly SRM University), India majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. I have a strong passion for graphic design, code as well as creating and covering music.

On working with different people on multiple projects over the years, I have developed the essential skills of leadership and team management. Currently spearheading an undergraduate research lab with over one hundred researchers, I have always believed in success en masse.

My interests include human-computer interaction, machine vision, mobile app development and user interaction design. My resume can be found on the top-right corner.

Being self-taught in almost everything I know in the field of computing, I love to hack together projects during the weekends. Au contraire, when I'm not doing the aforementioned activities, I make bad puns.

The drive to learn and do more is what fuels my fascination and aids me in contemplating, "What's Next?".

Having lived in South India, I have gained the knack for making and appreciating good coffee. If you have an exciting idea and want to grab a coffee or just chat, feel free to contact me!
