About Me

Meenakshi Sundar
Software Engineer @ Microsoft

Hi, I'm Meenakshi 👋

I'm a software engineer who finds joy in understanding how things work beneath the surface. My journey with technology began in childhood, perpetually fascinated by the intricate systems that make them work. Today, as a software engineer at Microsoft, I channel this curiosity into creating solutions that matter.

When I step away from the keyboard, you might find me sketching quietly, losing myself in classical or instrumental music, or simply observing the world with the same wonder that first drew me to technology. I believe there's elegance in understanding how things function, whether it's a complex algorithm or the pattern of leaves on a tree.

My approach to engineering is rooted in continuous learning. Each project is an opportunity to explore new ideas and build something meaningful. The technologies may change, but my fascination with how it all works together remains constant.
