Resume

About Me
I am a Masters student at Carnegie Mellon University, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from PES University.
I recently completed a 15 month co-op with Cisco under the Cisco for Startups team as a Business Strategy and Data Associate, with a focus on co-innovation with climate tech startups. I have also worked with OpsVerse, a DevOps startup, as a Product Intern on enhancing workflow automation, optimizing lead capture mechanisms, and shaping product strategy. I also advocate for underrepresented groups through my Research and Service.
I am passionate about Triple Bottom Line Sustainability and developing innovative yet socially conscious products. My experiences so far have instilled a technology-centric mindset in me: How can I design inherently intuitive technology? How can I strategically position technology in the market? How can I implement sustainable technology?
However, I now find myself urged to flip the perspective and explore how both society at large and the natural environment can influence technology. I want to understand how these dimensions can guide the creation of more responsible innovation.
