About me

Hello there! I'm Aaruush Kulkarni, a senior at Plano West Senior High School in the vibrant city of Plano, Texas. I aspire to study the fields of finance, economics, and business. My journey into these fields began quite unexpectedly as a child. I remember being fascinated by toy cars, not just for racing them, but for the stories their performances could tell. I used to track their race results in notebooks, creating my own simple spreadsheets. This childhood game sparked my interest in numbers and their ability to weave fascinating stories, paving my path towards a future in finance and economics.

My background

I was born in the vibrant city of Mumbai, India, and have since lived in Chelmsford, England, and now in Plano, Texas. This diverse cultural experience has been a rich tapestry, coloring my understanding of the world and influencing my perspective on global economics and business practices.

Hobbies and interests

Outside of my academic interests, I'm a tech enthusiast at heart. I spend a lot of my free time on personal coding projects and love tinkering with gadgets like Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. These activities not only satisfy my curiosity but also complement my interest in the analytical side of things. Another passion of mine is go-karting – a thrilling hobby that combines speed, strategy, and a bit of adrenaline.
