Hi, I’m Priydarshi. I like to break things, and I like to build things. dryairship is an anagram of my first name, and my username on most online platforms.

For work, I prefer to design software and write code. I also take a special interest in cybersecurity. I currently work as a Software Engineer at IMC Trading. I have previously worked with Optiver, Foyer (now Merlin), Amazon, The Linux Foundation, C3i Center and HackCave.

I studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Technology in Aerospace Engineering, and a total of five minors in Computer Science and Linguistics. While at IITK, I was associated with the Programming Club, the Quiz Club, and the Institute Aquatics Team. I was also awarded the Director’s Gold Medal at IIT Kanpur for outstanding all-round achievement and leadership.

I like learning languages and am currently working on my Dutch. I also sometimes dabble in learning Sanskrit, Spanish and French.

I love playing sports and board games. I particulary enjoy swimming and bouldering.

I am trying to learn music. I own a ukelele, a kalimba, a keyboard and a flute. I’m good at none of them.
