My Story: Leading with Impact
I am Rishika Tulsyan, pursuing a Master of Science in Information Technology Project Management at New York University, where I maintain a 3.9 GPA. My journey began in software and web development, where I gained over two years of experience delivering high-quality applications and websites. That foundation sparked my transition into project management and data analytics—fields where I combine technical expertise with leadership to solve complex challenges.
At NYU’s Department of Economics, I serve as a Research Data Analyst, leveraging tools such as Python, Pandas, and Tableau to clean, analyze, and visualize large-scale datasets, while designing interactive dashboards that make research insights accessible. Currently, as a Technical Operations Manager Intern at DsMenu, I oversee client support, billing operations, and CRM optimization through platforms like Zoho, Stripe, and AWS. In earlier roles, I led cross-functional teams to deliver projects ahead of schedule and developed over 40 global websites, experiences that honed my leadership and problem-solving skills.
Beyond my professional path, I have built solutions with lasting impact—such as a donation app during COVID-19 and initiatives introducing computer learning in Indian schools. These experiences reflect my passion for using technology to empower people, drive results, and create meaningful change.
