Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkanksha Ahuja is a research software developer and DevOps engineer with nine years of experience keeping the CMS experiment’s global WLCG Grid sites and central services operational at CERN. She blends hands-on distributed computing and site-reliability work—operating mission-critical monitoring, quantitative readiness testing, and CMSSW contributions—with research experience in particle accelerators (AWAKE) and physics data analysis. A founder of the Pink Bins menstrual-waste innovation showcased at G-STIC Brussels, she brings a rare mix of technical engineering, environmental and social-good focus, and product-minded R&D. Her background spans machine learning for physics and graph-based network science, applied across projects from accelerator control tooling to prototype waste-treatment hardware. Comfortable liaising with global data-center admins and translating business analytics into technical fixes, she aims to make scientific and technological advances accessible and affordable across communities.
