About

🎯 I recently completed my Engineering Management Internship at Seagate Technology, where I contributed to product development and process optimization for high-performance storage solutions. I’m actively exploring the intersection of product strategy, data-driven decision making, and emerging technologies. 🚀 Previously, I contributed to AI-powered assistants and virtual collaboration tools as part of my graduate projects. 🎓 I’m pursuing my Master’s in Engineering Management at the University of Southern California (USC). My toolkit spans Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and project management tools like JIRA and GitHub. 🔧 At heart, I’m a problem-solver and systems thinker. Whether it’s drawing swimlane diagrams to simplify complex workflows or calculating the NPV of a multi-year product rollout, I thrive at the intersection of analytics and action. 🏅 I’ve worked on high-impact academic and professional projects, and continue to seek roles where I can contribute meaningfully both as a builder of products and as a bridge between engineering and strategy. 📬 For career conversations, feel free to connect or reach out at kuklani@usc.edu.
