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.
