Hi, I'm Akalya Asokan 👋

I’m a software engineer living in New York 🗽, where I work on building predictive models in the financial sector. I studied Computer Science at Cornell University after completing my undergrad in India 🎓

Tennis is my absolute passion 🎾 - you’ll find me on the courts almost every day during summer! I also love skiing in the winter months ⛷️ Living close to Manhattan gives me access to everything I adore about NYC: the vibrant energy, incredible food scene (especially K-town! 🥢), Broadway shows 🎭, and amazing public transport.

When I’m not coding or playing tennis, I enjoy singing and recently picked up the ukulele 🎵, cooking simple meals in my cozy studio 🍳, and staying active with my fitness streak 💪 I’m originally from Coimbatore, India, but have lived in various places during my childhood 🌍

I believe in living life at my own pace - prioritizing experiences over endless hustle ⚖️, maintaining close relationships with family and friends 💕, and finding joy in everyday moments ✨ Always working on becoming a better version of myself, one day at a time 🌱

Always up for good conversations about feel-good movies 🎬, travel adventures ✈️, or the perfect tennis serve! 🏆 🌱
