About Me — Anika Neela
A galactic dreamer with room for giggles
One of the most challenging interview questions for me has always been ‘Tell me about yourself?’ I always struggle to effectively describe myself and apologize in advance for my possibly inadequate response to this question.
Background
I am a 23-year-old Software Engineer at Microsoft in the USA, who is also a part-time Master’s student at Georgia Tech, specializing in Machine Learning. Yes, that also means, I don’t have a life. Haha.
I was born in Bangladesh and was fortunate to be awarded a merit scholarship to study in the United States at the age of 14. While it was a difficult decision for my parents to send their daughter across the world to study, they highly valued education and trusted me to take this opportunity head-on. I am deeply grateful to them for giving me the chance to grow and develop through this experience, which has had a profound impact on my perspective and character. It has truly been a valuable and enriching experience.
