I'm Poushali Chattopadhyay. I weave security and innovation into every line of code.

I wrote my first lines of code when I was 9, in a dusty computer lab with LOGO drawing shapes on the screen — and something about it just clicked. As a kid, I didn’t care much for the language I was writing in; I was chasing the feeling of making an idea come alive. Whether it was QBASIC, GWBASIC, or Java, the thrill was always in creating something from nothing.

Curiosity became my compass during my BTech in Computer Science. I dived into emerging technologies, especially blockchain, driven by the thrill of solving real-world problems in new ways. That same curiosity and drive led me to Daimler Truck Innovation Centre India, where I now work in Cyber Security—building trust into the digital systems that move the world.

For me, “Engineer” isn't just a title—it's a legacy. My father is a civil engineer who designs the world you can touch. I followed a different path, but the mission feels the same: to build with purpose, whether in concrete or code.

Being from West Bengal, where art meets intellect in every corner, has shaped how I think. It taught me that creativity isn't separate from logic — it fuels it. Every line of code I write carries a bit of that blend: structured, soulful, and striving to make a difference.
