Welcome to Arize, Manisha Sharma!
We’re excited to introduce Manisha Sharma, the newest Arizer! Manisha will be joining Arize AI’s Frontend Engineering team.
Manisha was most recently a Frontend Engineer at Slack where she worked on user growth and onboarding experiences. Before that, she worked on data visualization and design systems at Pandora Music. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from UC Berkeley.
Manisha immigrated to the Bay Area from Fiji when she was 7 years old. Growing up, she attended schools that did not have developed technology tracks. It is for this reason that Manisha has developed such a strong passion for inclusiveness, accessibility and transparency in the tech field. She taught programming classes with Black Girls Code, Girls Who Code and Code Nation and hosted several tech careers outreach programs for students from underrepresented schools in the Bay Area.
Manisha envisions a future with responsible and ethical AI. In her own words:
“I’m thrilled to be joining Arize AI, a company that upholds my values that AI should be inclusive, ethical, and accountable. As modern society continues to lean on AI to make critical decisions that have impact on people’s lives, I believe it’s necessary to build tools that provide insight and explainability to those decisions.”
