Available to hire
Hey there! I’m Skandana Gowda. With a background in software development and a year of professional experience, I’ve had the chance to tackle complex projects that refined my technical and problem-solving skills. Along the way, I discovered the transformative potential of data science and machine learning, which sparked my interest in blending these fields with my development expertise. This passion led me to pursue an MS in Computer Science, where I could hone both development and data-focused skills. I believe that combining these areas is the key to solving real-world problems and shaping a better future. I’m eager to apply my diverse skill set to impactful projects in both software development and data-driven roles.
