Software Engineer @ Palo Alto Networks (Xpanse) | Data Science & IEOR @ UC Berkeley
UC Berkeley double major in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research and Data Science.

I believe great product management and engineering stems from a strong foundation of ethics and morals, a creative mindset that is willing to take risks, humility to learn and be wrong, and knowledge of how to find and act upon data.

        Aanika worked for me for 12 weeks as an intern in the summer of 2019. During that time, I was very impressed by her analytic, program mgt. and presentation skills. Aanika is able to very quickly grasp the major issues in a project and think through potential solutions. She proactively planned mitigation strategies for potential future issues as well. This level of maturity and thought is truly impressive in someone so early in their career. I highly recommend Aanika and belive she will be an asset to any compnay that she decides to join.
