TAJ
By day: SDE2 at Dhruva Space 🛰️ — by night: also that, because satellites don't sleep. Bitten by a radioactive code review, she gained the proportional powers of software engineering!
THE ORIGIN STORY
A young engineer discovers she can build software that teaches machines to see, listen, and understand. Armed with a BTech in EEE (Honors) from NIT Andhra Pradesh, she sets out to protect the city's data. 🎓
…comes great responsibility. Today she's a Software Development Engineer 2 at Dhruva Space, writing software for real satellites🛰️
PaliGemma, SAM, Florence & GDAL for image processing. GMAT, QGIS & OREKIT for orbits. And an origin arc through GalaxEye Space, where she built mission-critical software. 💥
