about me hi! i'm arushi :)
a 3rd year data science & cognitive science major at ucla!
my favorite thing is being at the intersection of technology, people, and creativity — understanding how they shape each other and finding my place within that.
i believe that as the world becomes more technical, the most important thing we can do is move forward without losing what makes us human: creativity, care, and thoughtfulness. that is what drives everything i build and create.
outside of work i love exploring new cafes, creating content, having deep conversations, storytelling, and capturing life in the most beautiful way i can.
#productmanagement (jira, asana, workflow, agile methodologies)
#technical (r, sql, python, c++, java, cursor, vibe coding)
#data (tableau, power bi, power automate, excel)
#design (canva, figma, photoshop, video editing, capcut)

community
ucla devx
devx has been a beautiful community of creative builders. i am grateful to have grown throughout my 3 years at ucla from a marketing lead to product manager to president, and to have been able to give back by growing the club entrepreneurially and expanding professional opportunities for our members.
sigma eta pi, ucla's professional co-ed entrepreneurship fraternity, has been an incredible community of passionate builders who constantly inspire me to keep creating. i am grateful to have given back through roles as rush chair (director of recruitment) and vppa (vice president of professional affairs), helping shape the community that shaped me.

product space
knowing i wanted to pursue product, product space was my dream organization to join. it has given me deep insight into the product world and connected me with like-minded people who are constantly pushing themselves to improve. everyone there inspires me to stay ambitious and keep going after what i want.
