Tarun Kumar Reddy

Intern

I am Tarun Kumar Reddy, a fourth-year student from the School of Computing and Data Science at Sai University, Chennai, India. I was born and raised in a small city called Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, India. I later joined Sai University for my undergraduate studies, where I was part of its founding batch. At Sai University, I am majoring in Data Science, learning Mathematics, Programming, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing. Along with my major, I am doing a minor in Economics. My interests include Technology, Strategy, Development studies, Social Impact, and Public Policy. I believe in multi-disciplinary education and that the solutions to pressing problems come from combining multiple disciplines. Apart from academics, I am an active volunteer at Sai University, conducting several events and activities.

My journey with Sherman and Trebuchet started in my second semester(2022) when I started working with him to manage the Trebuchet website and design posters for his courses at Sai University. Our relationship has strengthened over time, and I have worked as a designer for many courses he offered at SaiU. I also served as a teaching assistant for the Global Challenges course in 2023-24, and now I work with him on various aspects of the Trebuchet. I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of people from the Trebuchet community, and Sookrit Malik, founder and CEO of Energeia, is one of them. I was glad that he offered me an internship at Energeia as a Business Analyst. Apart from our professional relationship, Sherman serves as a mentor, and I discuss different aspects of my life and get guidance from him in all major decisions I make.
