Hello There

I'm Aditya Krishnamachar.
Constantly looking to learn and grow.

About


I'm a recent WashU alum ('21) graduating with both my BS and MS in Computer Science. I'm driven by finding my limits - be it visualizing data for maximum impact, experimenting in the kitchen, taking photographs, or bootpacking up a mountain to ski down.

Landscape Photography

It's almost criminal how easy it is for me to fall in love with a mountain landscape. I try to capture these moments through photography. I'm currently working to improve my framing + editing skills. Please reach out with advice or tools I can experiment with!

Hiking, Skiing, Mountaineering

I love being outdoors and exploring wild places. Usually, this comes in the form of a mountain range. I endeavor to explore as much terrain as I possibly can. I'm always searching for a hard-to-access lake, a peak to summit, and more.

Kitchen (Mis)adventures

Working with my hands to create good food - be it cooking or baking - is such a therapeutic process for me. I love it, and am working to incorporate more ~finesse~. If I was on GBBS, the judges would say "flavors are great, styles are not". It's a work in progress!
