Welcome! My name is Hriday Buddhdev (he/him/his), and I am a 4th year student at the University of British Columbia majoring in Computer Science. I have a keen interest in Software Development, and I enjoying applying innovative approaches to developing software that solves real and critical problems. In my spare time, I can be found practicing music, in the gym or enjoying a good cup of Chai :) Read on to learn more about my tech pursuits, or flip the switch to see my musician side!
