On the technical side, I\u2019ve built a strong foundation through projects and coursework in web development (Figma, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js) and data analytics (Excel, Pandas, Python). And when it comes to business, I owe my strategic mindset to both my coursework and my experience growing up around my family\u2019s plumbing company, where I saw firsthand what it takes to run a successful business.<\/p>\n<p>I love finding ways to intersect all these perspectives to create impactful solutions, and I thrive on hearing different ideas\u2014because I, too, come from a mix of backgrounds and experiences. Whether it\u2019s designing seamless user experiences, optimizing workflows, or leveraging data to drive smarter decisions, I\u2019m all about making decisions that are better, more efficient, and more creative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\">Feel free to reach out to me!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi I\u2019m Melanie, a first-generation MIS student at San Jose State University, minoring in Human Systems Integration.
