Krati Jadaun

My journey into IT started in childhood when I was fascinated watching my cousins work on laptops and do coding. After high school, when I took computer science and started learning C++ and Java, I knew this was my path. I'm originally from India, and though I tried to get into reputable universities there, I wasn't able to due to marks and general category limitations, so I made the decision to switch to the U.S. I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with my Master's in Data Analytics in 2025, which I'm incredibly proud of because it wasn't easy being an international student, maintaining visa status while working hard for good grades and dealing with the cultural differences between U.S. and Indian culture. Before my master's, I earned dual degrees in Administrative Management and Tourism Management, plus a diploma in Hotel Management and Industry Management in India. I also completed an internship in Dubai working as a business systems analyst and sales analyst, managing inventory, and that's where I really got interested in doing analysis and making dashboards. That internship was the biggest reason I took admission at Northeastern University. Now I'm working at RealCold, a mid-level startup that's still growing and merging with other companies. I'm handling all their data mapping, dashboards, and KPI reports, working on their core data to make the data cycle much easier for them. What I love most about my work is playing with data, cleaning it, and creating beautiful dashboards that give clear solutions to our leadership and operational teams. When they tell me 'Krati, thank you so much for making this dashboard, we were suffering a lot before you,' that's when I know I've succeeded.
