Neel Makhecha

Software Engineer @ Splunk AI

I started publishing apps on the App Store and Google Play as soon as I got into college. From creating fun 2D games to building something people would actually want to use. By the time I was 18, I published an app that reached hundereds of thousands of users.

Now after attending grad school and a few years of professional experience, working in cross functional teams, going through a major acquisition, and more, I not only have deep understanding of engineering and design, but also management, business, and product development. And so, I'm set to begin my journey of building something of my own again.
