My name is Priya. I just graduated this december with a masters degree in computer Science from the Washington state university. And, I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from a college afflicted to Anna university India. Prior to my masters, I was a software engineer for 2.8 years mainly responsible for development of backend API's and services. I'm interested in Software Engienering and Product Mangement.
First and foremost, I love writing code. Ever since writing my first program, I have been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve real-world problems. Software engineering is a never-ending puzzle and there's a lot of fun in it that I am passionately engaged in solving. I believe in the power of programming to transform and improve the lives of people around the world. I also an enjoys connecting the dots: be it ideas from different disciplines, people from different teams, or applications from different industries.
With a background in tech and a keen interest in product management, I started to pivot my focus to user experience. Besides ensuring the technology works, I now carefully observe how my everyday apps present information and their different features. I consider every extra step taken to ensure a seamless experience and where they could have approached the goal better, building mockups of the screens. The questions that drive me are: How can I design an experience that satisfies all users? How can I empathize and understand a user when I am not in their shoes? How do I identify the problems a future user may encounter? How does this bring value to the business?
My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages, problem-solving, and, Developer Tools - Jenkins, Splunk, New-Relic. So far, I have Core Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, RESTful APIs, JPA/Hibernate, SQL, JavaScript, Redis, Kafka and Python. I'm still enthusiastically grabbing onto other programming languages, concepts, or frameworks, I can integrate into the web in my head. Out of all, Java is my favourite language. Not long ago, I again started to solve problems in LeetCode.
When I am not at work, you will find me experimenting with Algorithms and design patterns. When I feel drained, I can be found eating π, dancing π or sleeping πͺ.
I want to fly βοΈ, eat my way across the globe π!
