Hello! I’m Sruthi Veeragandham. In December 2019, I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where I majored in Microbial Biology and minored in Computer Science. After graduating, I worked as a software engineer until Fall 2023, when I switched gears and decided to get my EMT license. I currently work as a medical scribe at Marin Community Clinics.
In my last year at Berkeley, I was a TA for UC Berkeley’s introductory machine structures course, CS 61C. I also spent a couple years as a research assistant in the Coleman-Derr Lab, which studies the root microbiome of drought-stressed cereal crops.
While we had to disband for shelter in place in March 2020, I was one of the facilitators of an amazing Girls Who Code club at the Cesar Chavez Library – check out one of our projects from Spring 2019 here. And if you live in Alameda County, I highly encourage you to get involved in the movement for Care First, Jails Last – read an op-ed I co-authored about it here.
