Hi! My name is Ria Manathkar, and I am currently a junior at
Carnegie Mellon University studying Computer Science and Human-
Computer Interaction.

In computer science, we're taught how to construct efficient
algorithms that can solve our greatest problems. We are shown the
incredible ways we can apply this knowledge to innovate and push
technology in ways it never has before. Though, this relies on humans
using this new technology, and humans are often messier than the
algorithms we write.

By looking at the same process through a different lens, we can see
how humans interact with technology is just as important as how it is
created. I solve problems for humans, and this requires me to draw
from different disciplines. I thrive in collaboration and focus on
bridging divides between people, industries, and technology.
