(01)about

Hi! My name is Megan Ying and I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. I am driven by a deep passion for using technology to improve the quality of life for others, particularly within the clean tech and healthcare sectors. While my foundation lies in mechanical engineering, my interests extend to software engineering and data science.

Whether it's designing innovative products, leveraging data to drive informed decision-making, or building software solutions, I love applying my skills to make a meaningful impact. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or connect!
