Graduate Alumna Nandini Kodipunzula

Meet Nandini Kodipunzula '24, a graduate of Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering, where she earned her M.S. in Computer Engineering. Coming from a non-CS undergraduate background and with industry experience at Freshworks, Nandini intentionally chose to pursue graduate school at SCU — driven by a desire to deeply understand the “why” behind architectural decisions.
