About Me.
Hi, I'm Sarah — a third-year Physics major at the University of Mumbai, passionate about the universe at every scale. From fitting Sérsic profiles on Hubble Space Telescope data to building React PWAs and teaching calculus to 7th graders, I live at the intersection of science, code, and creativity.
Based in Mira Road, Maharashtra. Anime enthusiast, football lover, and occasional secondhand book dealer. Currently preparing for postgraduate programs at KAUST, Erasmus Mundus, and top UK universities.
