About Shriya Sanas

I’m a junior pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a minor in Business, passionate about the intersection of technology, security, and innovation. I recently completed the HarvardX CS50 course, which strengthened my understanding of programming, problem-solving, and full-stack development using languages like C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript.Currently, I’m working through the Google IT Support Professional Certificate to deepen my skills in networking, systems administration, and cybersecurity fundamentals. These experiences have helped shape my interest in cybersecurity, particularly in how systems can be protected against evolving threats in a connected world.I’m eager to apply what I’ve learned in a real-world setting and contribute meaningfully to a team. I’m especially interested in internship opportunities that involve IT support, cybersecurity, or tech operations, where I can continue to grow both technically and professionally.I bring curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to learn, traits that I believe are essential in this fast-moving field. I’m excited to connect with professionals in tech and explore opportunities where I can make a positive impact.
