Hey, I'm Adyasha. I grew up in Bhubaneswar, a city I deeply love but have barely visited since moving to Bangalore.

I spent 22 years in my hometown: studied, grew up and shaped the roots of who I am.

I joined HackerRank as an intern and now after 4 crazy years, I am a Product Engineer in the Community Team, where we are passionate about creating a seamless job search experience for developers.

Beyond code, I love being on customer calls, hearing stories (why/how/what), understanding pain points because for me, real user voices shape real products.

Outside work, I'm an explorer of many things: fitness, hike, solo traveller, investments, dance and even a proud plant mom (25+ and counting!).
