In my ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿต Strawberry matcha themed Product Portfolio ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿต, You'll see a mix of sweet design, bold ideas, and tech with purpose. I've brewed up projects like Carls Swap, a student item exchange app, and CampusConnect, making food access easier for international students. You'll also find a real-time chat app built with WebSockets, a travel journal for capturing trip memories, and a deep dive into urban life in Singapore. Lately, I'm mixing in some fun with AI puzzle games that teach digital literacy, because learning should be just as delightful as a strawberry matcha.

About Me

Who Am I?

Download Kritika's Resume

I'm a senior at Carleton College, double majoring in Computer Science and Statistics, and proudly from the mountains of Nepal. I build human-centered tech, from VR learning tools to edtech platforms, with a focus on impact, inclusion, and great UX.

I'm driven by the belief that technology should be human-centered, ethical, and inclusive. Whether it's optimizing learning tools at an edtech startup, building immersive VR simulations, or enhancing AI platforms for student success, I enjoy crafting solutions that make people's lives a little better, and a lot more intuitive. My friends say I'm both fiercely independent and deeply collaborative. At SayKid, for example, I combined product strategy, backend automation, and user research to improve engagement by over 25%, while learning the value of adaptability in fast-moving environments.

Outside of work, I love making drinks, coffee, matcha, and especially strawberry matcha, which is my favorite! So much so that I designed my entire Product Portfolio around this theme. I'm also a compulsive traveler and planner. Studying abroad in Budapest gave me the chance to explore 12+ countries in six months, navigating logistics, budgeting, and unexpected detours along the way. That love for exploration inspired me to co-build a travel journal app that helps others track itineraries, expenses, and meaningful moments. Whether through travel or tech, I love learning how people live, what they need, and how we can design better systems to support them.
