ABOUT TARA KRISHNAN

When I first began college at MIT, I searched for a career path that would allow me to balance my interest in understanding complex, technical problems with my desire to create imaginative, unique work. I found that I could interweave both these different sides of myself in computer science.With the classes and projects I took on throughout my coursework at MIT, I managed to marry these two different sides of myself through an overall interest in user interfaces and design. My Senior Undergraduate Advanced Project in particular, allowed me to conceptualize and propose a creative, technical solution targeted at a very specific and overlooked user group.Since my MIT freshman year, I have cultivated a background in web development. Through my work with groups at the MIT Media Lab and my internship with Leaf, I became aware of the possibilities web programming presented in creating easily accessible and creative solutions to a variety of different problems people face. The work I contributed to my Adobe internship reinforced my love for tackling complex software problems and my motivation to contribute to technical solutions that drive people forward and leave an impact.Returning from time off, I have joined as a Software Engineer with the EdTech company Course Hero to pursue software engineering opportunities that will allow me to use my background and skills to not only solve interesting technical problems, but also aim to leave a positive impact on people\'s personal growth.
