About Krishna Mehta
I’m a Mechanical Engineer turned Software Engineer with a strong foundation in systems thinking and a passion for building scalable, long-lasting solutions.I hold a B.S. in Structural Engineering with a focus on Aerospace Structures from UC San Diego and an M.S. in Computer Science. My background allows me to bridge hardware and software, approaching problems with an emphasis on reliability, performance, and real-world impact.Through my education and work experience, I’ve developed skills in software development, backend systems, and problem-solving at scale, and I’m continuously pushing myself to learn new technologies and improve how I design and deliver solutions.I’m particularly interested in roles at the intersection of software and complex systems, including aerospace, automotive, robotics, and consumer technology, where thoughtful engineering and scalable software can make a meaningful impact.
