My name is Nikhil Arun and I am a rising sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing an undergraduate degree in computer engineering. I chose to pursue this major because of my deep passion for technology and its impact on society today. I've been interested in technology ever since I received my first phone in 6th grade. From the creation of the first transistor, computers have evolved from filling up an entire room to sitting in your pocket. Computer technology continues to drive innovation for all fields and I am happy to be a part of that process.
