Hi, I'm Ashna.

photo of me at Grace Hopper Celebration next to a Mickey Mouse statue!

I enjoy building things for others to enjoy. I'm a computer science systems student @ Stanford. I also teach cs, research conversational nlp, lead an effort to spread cs for social good, and dance!

I want to share some of my projects and experiences with you.

But first, answer this! (To view u a cool non-professional thing i've done in the past).
