About Me

I'm Manvi Sharma, and I bring nearly a decade of experience as a Software Development Engineer in Test at Workday, AWS, IBM, and British Telecom. Currently pursuing my Master of Business Analytics at UBC Sauder (Class of '26).

After years of building and testing large-scale systems through automation, I became deeply interested in how data, algorithms, and machine learning can drive smarter decisions. That curiosity now fuels my transition into data science and applied ML engineering — where I combine technical depth with analytical thinking to build intelligent, data-driven solutions.
