Hi, I’m Gagan, and I’m from India—a place where engineering is almost a family tradition, but for me, it was love at first math problem. I graduated in 2022 with an engineering degree and jumped straight into the world of tech at Deloitte as a full-stack developer. Over 2.5 years, I built large-scale systems, navigated corporate culture, and learned that “teamwork” sometimes means debugging at 2 a.m. with coffee as your only friend.

Now at Northwestern University’s MSIT program, I’m diving into the future of AI and its potential to transform the IT sector. I’m particularly curious about how intelligent systems will reshape the way we think about scale, efficiency, and innovation. It’s equal parts thrilling and slightly intimidating—kind of like trying a new programming language without reading the documentation.

When I’m not in front of a screen, you’ll probably find me on a football (soccer) field, hunting for the best dessert in town, or sampling cuisines like it’s a personal mission. I’m always up for good food, good conversation, and the occasional friendly match.
