# Anamika Kannan > Engineer and Music Producer | UMich ’22 (CS, Math, Music). Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/anamika I graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in December 2022 where I double-majored in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence track) and Mathematics, and minored in Music. I worked as a journalist and editor for the Michigan Daily, one of the nation's premier student newspapers. I have a technical background in software engineering and a strong track record of owning high-visibility features end-to-end. I am experienced in partnering cross-functionally with engineering, design, and business, and delivering creative solutions. Passionate about creator-centric and consumer products at the intersection of technology and creativity. Outside of software engineering, I am a musician who produces for various artists, shadows at local NYC studios, and creates my own music (vocal/instrumental/production). I am passionate about fostering artistic growth and community engagement among local musicians and artists, and I aim to continue combining my technical skills with my musical endeavors. I hope to bridge together business, art, music, multimedia, journalism, math, and technology to pursue truth and storytelling.
