hi, my name is
Neha.
I am a developer
I'm a full-stack software engineer with 2+ years of experience, a strong technical foundation, and an eye for great design. I have a passion for problem-solving and building beautiful user experiences that make a difference.
About me
I graduated with a B.S./M.S. in Computer Science π» specializing in Machine Learning from Georgia Tech π in December 2021. With a return offer from my 2020 internship in hand, I joined an exciting sustainable-trucking startup called Convoy Inc full-time in Jan 2022. I was entrusted with the delivery of several high-value, π₯ full-stack features from the get-go and I built significant, and impactful product features for 2 years before my team was cut in Convoy's sellout to Flexport in November 2023π.
I am passionate and driven about building amazing tech products. I love continuous learning and solving challenging problems π§©. I am a motivated, versatile and creative software engineer, and I am looking for a challenging opportunity at a company where I can continue to deliver outstanding results while honing my skills.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy graphic design, music, and hiking with my dog πΆ outdoors. I am also dedicated to furthering sustainability π and making conscious choices that benefit our planet π. I love to learn and add on more hobbies to my list: Bharatanatyam (Indian classical dance), Carnatic music, Digital Art, Sewing, Crocheting, and Painting.
Recommendations
Neha will be a phenomenal contributor to any team and organization she is a part of, and I would jump at the chance to work with her again. She joined our team at Convoy as a new grad, and immediately demonstrated skills of mid and senior level engineers.

If youβre looking for a software engineer who brings an eye for detail and great intuition to your company, please contact Neha. Not only is she incredibly adept at the technical skills, but she is pleasure to be around. She is a wonderful partner to build products with and I will miss working with her.
Neha has been fantastic to work with! Smart, detailed-oriented, super thoughtful. Well liked and respected across a very high functioning team and org. Aside from her technical competencies, I was blown away by her communication and budding leadership skills, which reflect someone who is far beyond her years of experience! Any org. would be lucky to have Neha on their side!
I was a PM working with Neha at Convoy. First, she writes the most beautiful/comprehensive docs you've ever seen. Second, she is thoughtful and iterative, making sure she fully understands the business problem to make sure she's building the best solution. Third, she is an amazing team player - both in always being a positive energy and also in terms of being very supportive/helpful to everyone else on the team. Lastly, I'll say she was one of the nicest/kindest/smartest people I ever worked with. You want her on your team.
Neha was simply a force of nature when it came to both demonstrating team leadership and delivering some incredibly complex code for the core product of the project. Demonstrating her strong leadership skills she quickly coalesced the team around the various development efforts. Despite not having first hand knowledge or experience with many of the technologies or concepts involved in the project, she fearlessly led the team ultimately delivering an incredibly successful project.
