Hello, I'm Swapnil

I'm an engineer from the University of Toronto's engineering science program. I've worked previously at Deloitte Consulting, Honeywell Aerospace and for a few startups.

I making things that people use and then learning how they use them. I want to understand things clearly and explain them well. I'm interested in the behaviour of complex systems, data journalism and storytelling.
