Mridula Mahendran
Software Engineer crafting elegant solutions through clean code and thoughtful design.
About
I'm a recent graduate pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems at Northeastern University, Boston.
With a foundation in full-stack development and cloud technologies, I specialize in building scalable web applications using modern frameworks and microservices architecture. My experience spans from enterprise-level application development at Accenture to industrial automation solutions at Siemens.
I'm passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and creating intuitive user experiences. Currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue growing as a software engineer.
Roles I'm Targeting
I'm actively seeking full-time roles starting August 2026, with a primary focus on:
Beyond the Code
I'm a big believer that the most interesting people are the ones with lives outside their laptops. So here's mine:
Amateur Photographer
I have a whole Instagram page dedicated to capturing birds mostly (there's a surprising amount of patience involved in getting the perfect shot, but that's what makes it rewarding) and beautiful nature landscapes. Nature keeps me grounded. @fromhergallery
Singer
I trained in Carnatic music for years and while I don't practice formally anymore, you'll definitely catch me humming or singing out loud sometimes.
Pickleball Enthusiast
Picked it up and never looked back.
Explorer at Heart
New city? I'm already mapping out the best coffee shops, hidden trails, and local food spots before I've even unpacked. I have a soft spot for aesthetic cafes, charming old buildings, and places with character — Boston has plenty of those.
