Hi, my name is Tanush Gowda. I'm a 16-year-old student currently in 12th grade in Frankfurt - Germany, where I've taken on leadership roles as grade representative, 2x class president, and a former member of the Junior Engineer Academy, where my team and I spent two years building a hand prosthesis. I enjoy being involved in projects that challenge both my leadership and technical skills.
I have a strong passion for finance, technology, and innovation. Over the past years, I've completed internships at various well known organizations, where I learned about banking systems, SAP, trading, compliance, and risk management. To further strengthen my knowledge, I also completed courses such as Harvard's CS50 and Yale's Financial Markets course, constantly aiming to grow and broaden my perspectives.
Recently, I joined Edunova (Young Economy Club), where I'm involved in funding management and process implementation, helping to drive initiatives that promote financial literacy and economic thinking among disadvantaged teenagers, whether due to migration background or their financial circumstances.
Technology is another area where I love to express my creativity, whether it's building a mini-social-media website with Flask and Bootstrap or designing an e-commerce platform with a clean, modern aesthetic. I enjoy bringing ideas to life through a mix of technical skill, design thinking, and a focus on user experience.
In everything I take on, finance, leadership, and technology, I'm motivated by a desire to create meaningful impact, keep learning, and push myself beyond limits.
