About Me Disha Umeshaiah

Second-year Computer Science student, building towards software engineering roles at the intersection of scale and rigour. Perfect score in AI module, with credentials spanning Palantir's Winter Tech Fellowship, Google's EMEA Cloud Programme, and Stanford's Code in Place. Alongside the code, I lead campus marketing for Adobe Express and write a newsletter, Codette by Disha, with a growing audience of 4,000+ on Linkedin. I treat content the way I treat code: structured, consistent, and built to actually work.Open to conversations on engineering, marketing, and everything worth building.
