Ishita Mandhan
- Software Engineer at Redfin
- City: Bellevue, WA
- University: Graduated from Texas A&M University with a BS in Computer Engineering, Minor in Mathematics & Pre-medical coursework in 2015
- Favorite Color: Baby pink and mustard yellow (not both together!)
- Why did you pick engineering? I liked science and math a lot growing up and so studied both engineering and pre-medical coursework in college. Ended up really enjoying my time in the industry as a developer so I haven’t revisited the idea of going back to school to study medicine!
- Your favorite thing about SWE: The feeling of community amongst SWE members. I first joined SWE as a freshman in Texas, graduated and moved to California where I got involved in the LCC, professional section, and region leadership. Since then, I’ve moved to the Pacific Northwest and live with my husband in the Greater Seattle Area. Coming from a global background, it’s been endearing to see SWE be my constant in the US
- Main Goal for FY21: One of my goals is to build more empathy in the committee and also help coaches develop empathy in their interactions with section leaders. From a tactical perspective, I’m excited to see the committee adapt after a series of changes in FY20 and expand globally!
