Hii ,I'm Deekshitha Kilaru
You can call me Dee :)
I'm Looking for Full - Time Product Roles :)
About Me !!
🎓 I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Rowan University, New Jersey.
💡 I’m a creative and compassionate problem-solver, currently working as a Business Intelligence Analyst at Globus Medical. Over the years, I’ve gained a wide range of experience across business intelligence, product development, and user research, combining my love for design, data, and storytelling to build meaningful, user-centered solutions.
🌱 My passion for building things started young — from helping my mother cultivate mushrooms and designing dresses to earn pocket money, to now designing sustainable, scalable digital products that solve real-world problems.
🌏 As a proud international student, I openly share my experiences and journey to support and uplift others navigating a similar path. I create authentic, community-driven content on Instagram and LinkedIn, often centered around career growth, international life, and personal development.
🧠 I’ve always been a community-oriented person — whether it's through the organizations I’ve led, the teams I’ve mentored, or the users I build for. When I’m not working, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen (currently diving into Korean cuisine!), exploring new places, kickboxing for energy, or hiking for peace of mind.
Let’s connect — I love meeting people who are passionate about tech, design, culture, or food 🍜🌍
