Kaustubh Sonawane

Hi I'm Kaustubh!

I'm a student at UT Austin majoring in Computer Science & Business

On campus, I'm part of the Texas Product Engineering Organization (TPEO) building software solutions for my community. In my free hours, I'm a singer in Noteworthy A Cappella, a pianist of 14 years, and an avid distance runner

I'm interested in Systems Development, Intuitive Product Design, and Natural Language Processing

I'm currently reading Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom and The Defining Decade by Dr. Meg Jay

I'm always looking to learn from new people. Reach out to me at kaustubh.sonawane@utexas.edu
