About
I’m a junior at UC Berkeley studying computer science, design, and public policy.
I build tech for nonprofits at Cal Blueprint (calblueprint.org) and write a newsletter (kabirgoel.com) about design, productivity, and programming. When I’m not building or writing I usually end up watching a Vox documentary or reading about economics, history, or politics.
I’m doing research in improving machine translation in high-stakes settings, advised by Prof. Niloufar Salehi. Previously, I built a better way to invest in India at Swadesh.
I grew up in New Delhi, India. In Delhi, I led my high school’s tech club and organized one of the largest high school hackathons in the country. When I go home I typically gain about 5 lbs. in butter chicken and naan.
