About Sunny Parawala

My passion for learning, creating, and applying on the spot drew me to major in Computer Science. Aside from being a Computer Science major, I enjoy working on stuff I find challenging. Outside of the classroom, I like to be involved in different sports like Badminton and Cricket. During my undergraduate time at the University of Minnesota, I was able to complete a study abroad to Hong Kong where I learned statistics and about the local culture there. I took on a leadership role in my Entrepreneurship class where we researched and designed an Online Learning Platform.

I was heavily invested in developing RESTful APIs and writing several Jenkins jobs. I was also accepted to represent the University as an Advanced Senior Software project Student and I got a wonderful opportunity to work with Target Corp\'s security team. I enjoy traveling/learning new cultures, volunteering & meeting new people! Please feel free to connect with me or reach out to share your story I enjoy getting to know my network.
