About Me

Welcome to my digital space!
I'm a Computer Science graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology. My academic journey was enriched by a minor in Big Data Analytics, which deepened my understanding of Artificial Intelligence and data-driven solutions.
The most exhilarating part of my college experience was my involvement with the Mars Rover Manipal team during my initial two years. It was a transformative experience where I contributed to the development of autonomous algorithms for various robotic systems. My responsibilities included creating algorithms for obstacle avoidance, navigation search strategies, and object detection. This hands-on experience instilled problem-solving skills and honed my technical prowess. I kicked off my professional career with a dynamic startup called FastHr.ai and later embarked on a comprehensive six-month internship at Amazon. These experiences further expanded my skill set and provided insights into the corporate landscape.
Currently, I'm working at Amazon as a full-time software engineer, working on a variety of projects that continually challenge and inspire me. This role was offered to me in May 2024 as a return offer after my internship. It came right after a brief but fulfilling stint with Akamai Technologies.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I enjoy swimming and playing badminton. I also really enjoy watching cricket with my dad. I'm an avid reader and one may often find me curled up in a corner immersed in a book. Another significant part of my life is music, having devoted a decade to training in Hindustani Classical Music.
As a woman in tech, I'm committed to breaking the glass ceiling in this male-dominated field. I aim to use this website as a platform to document my journey as I navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology. But this website isn't just about tech; it's a canvas for my thoughts and experiences. You may find random memory dumps and musings on my blog soon.
