About Me

Hey there ! I’m Neeharika

part engineer, part storyteller, full-time builder of things that make life easier. ✨

I recently graduated with a Master’s in Computer Science from University of Florida, blending curiosity with code to bring ideas to life through design and logic that not only work, but feel good to use.

Before grad school, I spent three years in the industry turning big ideas into real products. Along the way, I found myself drawn not just to writing clean code, but to bridging the gap between people and technology. That’s where my business analyst side kicked in, listening deeply, translating needs into solutions, and making sure every feature had a purpose and a heartbeat.

From cross-functional collaboration to simplifying complex systems, I found joy in crafting solutions that matter for people, for businesses, for impact.
Outside of building software, I love exploring how tech meets creativity. I believe the best solutions come from listening closely, staying curious, and never being afraid to ask “what if?”
