I'm Avinash Senthil. I live in United States, where I build the future.
I'm an incoming Cornell freshman studying computer science, and I also founded Dream Canvas, a robotics education initiative where I teach students programming and robotics.
I want to do computer science, and I'm interested in biology too, likely as a minor. What draws me to both is using them to actually help people. I've been to CS and bio hackathons alike and had a great time at both, and that mix is the direction I want to keep exploring.
