MY NAME IS NIHARIKA KOMPELLA
ABOUT ME
I'm going to be honest, I despise talking about myself, but here is an entire website I've created about myself.
My passions as a child were a jumble of intrigues, an assorted collection of interests so varied it drove my parents mad. However, one thing that drew them all together was my zeal for problem solving.
​
And what better way to satiate my desire to solve problems than computers?
​
Computers are problem solving machines, and using them to create innovative and unique solutions that range from use in daily life to the unique let's-create-colonies-on-Mars situations is something so akin to my childhood passions it seems unreal.
​
I can't quite go to Mars yet, but I'm realistic. I'm excited to get involved in any and all new projects to gain the skills and experience necessary to alter the path of humanity's story. Until then, here's mine.
