about

I'm Rishita, a current computer science student at Georgia Tech (go yellowjackets)!! Ever since I was young, I've always had a love for puzzles whether it be the daily sudoku or logic games. Naturally, this led me to be fascinated with computer science and math-- I admire the problem-solving and brain itch these subjects give me. As such, I've used this passion to facilitate not only coursework, but to build projects such as 100-pound robots, automated poker players, blockchain apps, and more!
