RIP Tejas AP

I probably met Tejas at one of the DataMeets, likely introduced by Nisha. I’d heard about him before, as some DataMeeters had mistaken me for him. We joked about it when we finally met. That’s all I remember about our first meeting. I have met him many times for various reasons. But there...
