02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PATTERNS
✳Curiosity is the thread.
People are the purpose.
I’m Yashu Dhamodharan, a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Behavioral & Social Data Science.
I’m drawn to the space where psychology meets technology — bridging the depth of the human mind with the computational power of data science.
Through behavioral modeling, thoughtful research, and human-centered design, I explore how we can make our digital world a little more human.
With curiosity, Yashu
