Engineering leader · builder

Priyanka Jain

I explore career, life, and mid-life through the lens of an immigrant straddling cultures, a Silicon Valley engineering leader, and a mother to neurodivergent kids.

This space holds my passion projects—like Serenate, a mindful wellness tool—alongside reflections on leadership, identity, and the quiet work of becoming.
