About Me

I'm Chetan, a computer science student in my third year at the University of Alberta and an incoming SDE intern at Amazon (AWS). My current focus is on building unique and innovative projects like Lost Locale and hoping to hit big :D

I stay up-to-date with the latest tech advancements and enjoy exploring the world of software development. In my free time, I'm a numismatist (someone who loves collecting coins and paper bills), and a FIDE rated chess player.

Check my collection out here.

Feel free to reach out to me at ctyagy06@gmail.com!
