Tanupa Thaker is a freshman pursuing software engineering at San Jose State University. Throughout high school, I was very involved in STEM activities including being part of my school’s robotics team, Women in Tech & Girls Who Code. Outside of school, I participated in hackathons. To further spread the passion to those around me, I’ve also helped organize PixelHacks, TinoHacks, and the National Youth Technology Journal. She has been involved with Gayatri Pariwar since birth and has grown up learning about Indian culture, and yoga.
