I'm Arjun GR, a passionate Software Engineering professional - Data Engineering at Walmart. I previously interned at Robert Bosch and have been researching in the field for over 3 years. I made a career transition from a mechanical engineering background into software and data engineering, earning a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering with a 4.0/4.0 GPA, a shift I pursued during a particularly challenging tech job market, right as the AI boom began reshaping the industry. During my graduate studies, I served as a Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant, supporting coursework and guiding students through their academic and career development. This path has given me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to successfully navigate a career switch into tech under difficult conditions, and I bring that experience directly into the mentorship I offer today.
