Who am I?
Who are you??
I’m currently a Presidential Scholar at the Honors College of Rutgers, double majoring in CS and Neuroscience since I love the idea of neuro-technology and NeuroAI. In my spare time, I make gaming content as a professional Valorant player (Sitaaron#raja), run my own fashion brand, and add to my random list of skills!
