I grew up in Mumbai, India, and have lived in the United States since the 1980s. I am a mother of two and a grandmother of three (so far :-)). I live in New Jersey.
I possess a graduate degree in Mathematics from the acclaimed Indian Institute of Technology. Over the course of my career as a software developer and data analyst, I worked on platforms ranging from mainframes to the internet.
I won the 2020 Bay Area Journalism Award from San Francisco Press Club.
