Morninglightandnewideas,

I'm Sahas Sharma.

About

Originally from Bombay, raised in Jersey City, and now based in Dallas, Texas, I've called a lot of places home. I'm a computer science student at UT Dallas on the AI track, with a deep interest in machine learning and the systems that power it.

Outside of work, I help care for two service dogs, Idris and Ling, and try to lead with kindness in everything I do. I believe the best technology is built by people who care about other people.

February 2026: Ultimately, i must be brave
