Richa Desai

Engineer by training. Storyteller by nature. I believe the most powerful insights are born from collaboration, where diverse perspectives unite to transform data into products that redefine user experience and guide business strategy. My journey began with the structured problem-solving of Electrical Engineering, learning to deconstruct complex systems. Now, as a Master of Science in Business Analytics candidate at USC Marshall, I'm building the bridge between that technical rigor and human-centered business impact. I use Python, SQL, and machine learning not as ends in themselves, but as tools to uncover narratives in partnership with product managers, designers, and engineers. My passion is solving puzzles at the intersection of user behavior, product strategy, and scalable technology. I thrive in cross-functional teams, believing that the best solutions emerge from open dialogue and a shared commitment to excellence. I'm driven by questions like: How can we collectively use data to anticipate a user's need? How can we transform an insight into a seamless feature? I love working on teams that obsess over the details, where deep analysis and deep collaboration create beautiful simplicity. I want to build the products and services that I, and millions of others, love to use.
