I’m Aaishika, a Product Manager on Qualcomm’s Developer Relations team. I design developer engagement programs, create practical technical content, and organize community events. Originally from Delhi, I’m now based in
San Francisco.
My interests outside of tech: astronomy, cinematography, and watching stray cats cause ruckus.
