""As a kid, I always used to be surrounded by technologies," Chandarana told Business Insider. She said she built her first HTML page when she was in 8th grade and imagined herself working in computer-filled rooms in the IT field. She followed this passion into a full-fledged tech career, completing her bachelor's degree in computer engineering at Mumbai University in India in 2017, and then earning a master's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2019."
"Being an introvert increased her challenges, she said. "It wasn't easy for me to communicate and speak up at first - especially as one of the very few women in the room," Chandarana said. She had a tech buddy to support her during the initial transition and then paid close attention to her colleague's work styles, adopting their most efficient habits and an attitude of "never stop learning.""
