About Me
Well well well...what do we have here? Looks like you've somehow stumbled upon my coding portfolio (lucky you).
Hey there! I'm Aanchal Puri, a first year Computer Science (Machine Learning Track) student at the University of Maryland, College Park. Below you'll find some of my coding projects and pictures of my latest ceramics creations. When I'm not busy with my classes or pulling my hair out over debugging my code, you can catch me at the ceramics studio on campus, snuggled up with a classic novel, or taking over the world...(jk, or am I?). ♥
