Just trying to rekindle my writing skills about different things.
Hello! I am Rupali, currently pursuing my masters at Carnegie Mellon University. I have 2.5 years of industry experience, my most recent title being software Engineer 2 @Twilio. As a experienced software professional, I have worn many hats throughout my career - from data engineer to data scientist to a full stack developer. With each new role, I have approached every challenge with a sense of excitement and eagerness to learn. Recently, I dabbled into entrepreneurship with my own adventure “SilkSleep”. I managed all facets of the business with end-to-end management, and achieved an impressive 31.7% profit margin. Please check my detailed resume for more details.
Currently I am working as a research assistant with Diversity, Inclusion, Climate and Equity office at Heinz@CMU, under Dr. Dareen Basma. I am incredibally passionate about increasing women representation in STEM fields, tackling gender inequality and promoting inclusivity across all forums. With DICE office, I am exploring all the opportunities in that area.
At present, I am writing a book that I plan to publish by the end of this year.
I love being creative and working for a cause. Outside of my work, I have volunteered at teach for India, where I taught mathematics and english for class 4 students. My passions include dancing, reading, writing and painting. For my personal life story so far, please see the personal section.
