Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet! My name is Vinay Krishnaswamy, and I am currently a freshman at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. 

I've been excited about flying and aviation forever! I am a private pilot in airplanes and helicopters, and am working to obtain my commercial and flight instructor certificates. 

I love to meet and learn from other members of the aviation community. If you are a fellow pilot or interested in becoming one, I would be happy to chat with you about my own experience. 

My work experience surrounding aviation includes being an intern at Pivotal, a startup based in Palo Alto that develops eVTOL aircraft. That was a tremendously fun and educational experience! I am very interested in how aviation continues to evolve and fit into a fast-changing society. 

I plan to study Math and Computer Science as an undergraduate, and I look forward to exploring how I can apply those skills to the aviation industry to solve problems and reimagine what is possible. 

Outside of school and work, I love to ski and play basketball, and I am a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers and the Golden State Warriors.
