Hello — I'm

Arjun Srivastava

01 — About

A double major who'd rather ship than slide-deck.

Computer Science + Economics double major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, class of 2028.

Currently shipping StudyAlarm, an Android alarm app pending Google Play submission, and TheatreMetrics, a grant-research and analytics platform for theater companies.

I work on LLM integration at Disruption Lab, donor and volunteer infrastructure at Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations, and marketing-engineering for early AI startups at NOBE.

Most comfortable in Java, Python, and C++.

02 — Education

Computer Science + Economics, on schedule for May 2028.

Choosing both majors on purpose: CS gives me the tools to build, Econ gives me the lens to choose what's worth building.
