Hey there! My name is Tanish Makadia, and I'm currently an undergraduate student at Brown University concentrating in Math and CS — but I'm originally from Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up here, I've come to deeply cherish the lake-effect snow we get each winter, along with the relatively dark skies compared to other cities. On starry nights, you'll definitely catch me in my backyard with my astrophotography rig running, staring up at the sky in blissful reverie.
When I'm not grinding coursework, you'll find me skiing, sketching, or surfing the web, falling down whichever internet rabbit hole that has just consumed me. I'm also an avid anime watcher and (in the best cases where I enjoy a series so much that I finish before the next season airs) manga reader. If I've really got some free time — which is pretty rare these days — I love revisiting my childhood by playing video games I grew up with like Minecraft, Terraria, and Hollow Knight with the same friends I used to play with. And in case it wasn't clear already lol, if you run into me late enough, you might find me stargazing :).
