My Journey
From Bangalore
to building at scale.
Early Years · Bangalore, India
The curious child with mehendi hands
That little girl holding up her mehendi-stained hand wasn't just showing off art — she was already demonstrating something she'd built. Curiosity was always the constant.
2019 – 2023 · Acharya Institute of Technology
B.E. Electronics & Communication Engineering
Chose engineering to understand the world at signal level. Built a real-time IoT navigation system for the visually impaired as her capstone — empathy encoded into hardware. GPA: 3.36
Aug – Sep 2022 · Compsoft Technologies
First taste of AI/ML in industry
Built an LLM-powered virtual assistant with OpenCV face detection. Achieved sub-200ms inference times on edge devices. The spark that turned academic interest into production obsession.
Jun 2023 – May 2024 · HP Inc, Bangalore
Software Engineer — Global scale
Owned full-stack diagnostic tools running on 500K+ devices globally. Cut system latency 30%, reduced P0/P1 incidents 25%. Learned what it means to ship code that can't break.
2024 – 2026 · Arizona State University, Tempe AZ
MS Software Engineering · GPA 3.50
Crossed an ocean to deepen the craft. Studying cloud, AI/ML, and software verification while simultaneously building production systems at ASU as a Software Engineer Intern.
Now · Open to Full-time Roles
What's next
Looking for a team where she can own systems end-to-end, move fast without breaking things, and build technology that makes someone's day measurably better.
"Accessibility is not a feature — it's the foundation."
My navigation tool for the visually impaired wasn't a project. It was a statement. If your product doesn't work for the person who needs it most, it doesn't fully work at all.
"30% latency reduction isn't a metric. It's 500,000 people waiting less."
At HP, I learned to think in scale. Every optimization, every clean abstraction, every CI/CD improvement compounds across hundreds of thousands of real users. That responsibility sharpens everything.
"From Bangalore to Tempe — same curiosity, bigger canvas."
Moving across the world for a master's wasn't just about credentials. It was about surrounding myself with people who push the frontier, and becoming someone who can push it too.
