Vice President - Saket Pochiraju
👋 Hi! My name is Saket Pochiraju and I’m studying Computer Science + Geography/GIS. I take immense joy in pushing my curiosity as I learn to try to better understand how and why the world works, and to me, the best way to realize and continue improving that perspective is by working towards better realities on our increasingly global challenges. I believe solar energy and a broader focus on sustainable systems are crucial to that goal, and I hope to continue working on them for change. Aside from things related to that, I really enjoy biking and singing Carnatic classical music.
