Hi, I’m Ishan.

I am a 3rd-year Computer Science student at UCSB with a passion for applying technology to solve and automate real-world problems. I have collaborated with researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and professors at Stanford Medicine on developing AI-driven diagnostic tools for healthcare and enhancing accessibility. This past year, I was working as a Quantitative Developer at Prismatic Capital, where I design and implement algorithmic trading tools. My invovlement in the financial space motivated me to write for Benzinga. Now, I am set on a journey of solving the biggest problems in assistive technology on a global scale.
