Hi there! I'm Tanuja, a passionate Software Developer and a proud IIT Goa graduate. Hailing from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, my family and I weren't exactly tech-savvy. But studying in Goa was a turning point. Surrounded by tech-forward peers, I witnessed the transformative power of technology firsthand. It wasn't just convenience – it was a catalyst for positive change. Now, working in Pune, I thrive on tackling challenging problems and leveraging technology to make life better. My passion? Leverage my education and experience to make scalable, cutting-edge technologies accessible and user-friendly. Beyond the lines of code, you'll likely find me on the badminton court, at a dance workshop, or exploring new landscapes & cityscapes. Or, I could be lost in a captivating non-fiction book / Podcast. I also love solving Sudoku, playing Chess, and working on DIY projects. Whether it's exploring my diverse set of interests, expressing myself through writing, or delving into the fascinating realms of psychology and finance, I believe in continuous learning and growth. Mentorship is close to my heart, and I take pride in guiding many throughout college and beyond. I'm always looking for opportunities to share my knowledge and grow together.
