About

Hello, my name is Niharika Alam and I like coding and cats! When I am not writing code or creating graphics on my free time, I like to take nature walks and watch animal videos on YouTube. Pandas are my favorite. Being a woman in computer science has bought my attention to the gap between technology and the natural world. This has inspired me to one day bridge this gap by creating technologies that will contribute to helping the environment. I also enjoy reading and writing short stories often.
