ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Vaibhavi Pai- welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm a technologist driven by curiosity, a love for AI, and the thrill of creating value from scratch. Whether it's building meaningful products, mentoring others, or diving into new experiences, I'm always exploring the intersection of technology, impact, and play.
With a background in computer science and hands-on experience at companies like Microsoft and Samsung R&D, I've developed a sharp eye for using tech to solve real-world problems. Today, I channel that experience into projects that excite me—and hopefully, help others too.
Making the world a little better is what keeps me going. I mentor aspiring professionals through workshops, webinars, mock interviews, and thoughtful connections—because sometimes, a small nudge can change someone's path.
When I'm not building or mentoring, you'll find me exploring local food stops for my food project Ahaa! Ahaara, scuba diving in both new and familiar waters, or fiercely competing in a board game with friends.
