Hey, I'm Aarush.
I'm a CS student at City College of New York. I've lived in a bunch of different countries and switched schools way too many times. Every time I moved, I had to figure out new systems that were confusing for no good reason. That's probably why I code now. When something doesn't work right or makes people feel dumb, it bugs me. So I build stuff to fix it. Most of what I know comes from just trying to make things better than what's already out there. If you also think tech should help people instead of just looking cool, we should talk
