Hello! I'm Ananya
Hey there, fellow voyagers of the digital realm! 🚀
Fresh out of Duke University with a master's degree in Engineering Management, I'm on an exciting expedition to secure a product managerial role. As the pioneering female engineer of my family, I've evolved from a foundation in technical expertise to leading product innovations at industry giants like Accenture. A technologist at heart, I seamlessly blend my analytical prowess with creative storytelling. As you delve deeper, you'll discover a curated assembly of my impactful projects—a testament to my passion.
What I do when I'm not working
Beyond the world of tech and code, I chart a course of empowerment and innovation. As the first female engineer from my family, with fresh insights from my graduate studies, I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of female tech pioneers. And when the day winds down, I embrace the melodies of my journey as a state-level singer in India. For me, music and mentorship are not just passions but the very notes that compose the symphony of my life. Melodies, mentorship, and making a mark - that's the rhythm I live by. 🎵👩💻🎓
