Look them up: young alumni in tech
By Linda Copman
As Cornell Tech celebrates its 10th year, the school has become a global hub for tech innovation. Over the past decade, Cornell Tech has helped make NYC the second most valuable startup ecosystem in the world, after Silicon Valley.
Cornell Tech opened its campus on Roosevelt Island just five years ago, with 30 faculty and 300 graduate students. Since then, Cornell Tech has been redefining the notion of collaboration in graduate education—working hand-in-hand with industry partners to solve real-world problems. Its programs have attracted visionary thinkers who are attracted by the opportunity to work with people in programs that blend technical expertise, business knowhow, and a creative mindset.
From agriculture to AI to healthcare, Cornell Tech alumni are driving social change. To showcase a few of the creative ways alumni are using their Cornell Tech degree, we reached out to three recent graduates: Shreyas Kulkarni MS ’17, head of product for the mental health app Mine’d, Irene Font Peradejordi MS ’21, user researcher at the Twitter META team, and Leanna Mulvihill MS ’20, product manager for the national food delivery app Rosie.
