Kavya Manchanda

Hello and Welcome! I am Kavya, a passionate computer engineer. My interests are Embedded System Design, VLSI Design, and PCB Design. I am currently a Hardware and Lab Intern at Sanrel LLC, working on materials science and circuit design research projects. I am also an AI Engineer at the Headstarter AI Software Engineering Fellowship and a Schneider Electric Global Student this Summer. I like solving problems and believe in learning through practical applications and hands-on work. I love books and reading about what's latest in tech.
I also have a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and I like to write prose and poems about my experiences. I like to code, Python and C being my expertise.
I am always looking for a good beach or restaurant to try - I especially like Asian and Indian food, and love swimming. I like meeting new people! Connect with me and we can build a network!
