+        <p class="blurb">Research Software Developer with a Master’s in Data Science. When I’m not knee-deep in code, you’ll find me diving into politics debates, cheering for my favorite cricket or Formula 1 teams, or rewatching Friends and The Big Bang Theory for the hundredth time. Basically, I love blending tech, sports, and sitcoms into one chaotic but fun existence!</p>
