About

Engineer by craft, founder by curiosity.

I'm Saundarya — a B.Tech in Computer Science from Banasthali Vidyapith. I spent the early years of my career at Goldman Sachs building backend microservices, near real-time data pipelines and observability for mission-critical platforms, then moved to Wayfair to ship AI-powered shopping experiences for millions of customers.

Today I'm building Bettermeals — a consumer health-tech product that makes everyday food decisions feel personal, simple and joyful. I love working at the intersection of strong systems thinking, AI-driven UX and early-stage product building.
