Hello, I'm Shruthi Venkatachalam
I ♥ to code and Design.
Hey there!
As a product management enthusiast and someone with a strong background in computer science, I am always seeking ways to use my skills and knowledge to improve the lives of others through technology. That is why I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Science at California State University Long Beach. My undergraduate degree in Computer Science from PES University has provided me with a strong foundation in this field, and I am excited to continue my education and gain even more expertise in product management and software development.
In addition to my studies, I am also a budding YouTuber who loves to create content and design eye-catching thumbnails for my vlogs. This has allowed me to exercise my creativity and share my passions with a wider audience. I have also had the opportunity to use my design skills in a professional capacity, as I have designed event pamphlets, brochures, and workshop materials for Techwomaniya. This experience has given me valuable insight into the importance of clear and effective communication, both visually and through written content.
As I continue to pursue my passions in product management and software development, I am eager to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Whether it is through my work in the tech industry or through my creative endeavors on YouTube, I am committed to using my talents to make a difference.
