Hi! I'm Richa :)
Austin, TX
I'm an electrical engineering student at the University of Toronto who loves building things that live in the real world.
Currently, I'm:
- Working on hardware engineering at Base Power
- Learning more about energy, compute, hardware product design, and advanced manufacturing
- Thinking about what makes ambitious technical companies grow and scale
- Trying as many new ice cream places as possible!
Previously, I helped build Meraki (UofT's Socratica node and builder community), and worked across power electronics and wearable hardware.
I'm especially excited by people building hard, useful, and slightly unconventional things.
