May 2028

I'm a computer systems engineering student at the University of Auckland — also known as the long name guy. Yes, it's longer than the alphabet, but I go by Rama. What was once a nickname is now the name I use for almost everything. To keep my whole name short, I use ASC.

From designing PCBs and writing embedded firmware to building full applications — I enjoy working across the full system, break problems into parts, and keep going until it works.

Outside of engineering I build personal projects that push my creativity, stay consistent with fitness, and think too hard about films and video games
