Hi! I’m Navya, I’m currently a third-year CS undergraduate at the University of Bristol.

Previously, I worked at Gocardless, a YCombinator-backed fintech company specializing in direct-debit payments. This summer I’ll be working at Facebook as a software engineering intern.

I called this blog First Principles because I feel a lot of seemingly complicated things in the world can be understood if viewed through the right lens. The blog serves as my attempt at cutting through the noise and analyzing ideas from the ground-up.
