Hi, I'm Spoorthi! I’m interested in integrating human-centered design and technology into social-good projects, especially in the accessibility space. My passion for math and problem-solving and MOOCs founded my interest to pursue computer science and front-end programming to complement design in my degree. This summer, I interned as a UX Designer working on seller-facing interfaces at Amazon.
