Hardik Goyal

I am a Software Engineer at Google, Mountain View on the chromeOS security team.

I just graduated from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, where I finished Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science. I also pursued two minors in Computer and Digital Forensics and Entrepreneurship.

I am always inspired to try new things by my favourite quote from Steve Job's Commencement Address at Stanford in 2005, where he said :

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
