Hi there!
I am Tanya. I walked away from comfortable, high-paying jobs at Microsoft to be exactly that, and I pulled off seven different careers in four months.
Let's talk
For six years I shipped high-value products at Microsoft and Uber. The kind of work that pays well, looks great on a résumé, and quietly puts a lid on the part of you that wants to make something new.
I walked away from all the comfort to do something more creative. I was confident I could, because the creative kid I'd been growing up was still in there. The one who made murals, comics, and her way into every art room she could find. She'd just gone quiet.
So I set out to wake her up by trying a new career every two weeks. Four months in, I've pulled off seven: florist, muralist, exhibition designer, event marketer, telemarketer. Somewhere in the middle of them, the fog lifted.
Now I know exactly what I want. To bring everything I've collected, an engineer's discipline, a maker's taste, and the hustle it takes to pull off seven careers in four months, to a team that's building something real.
I was a creative kid who somehow ended up in engineering. And I liked it — turns out once I'm doing something, I want to be really good at it.
I went to a low-tier private college. Not a pedigree story. But when placements came, I landed the highest offer my college had ever seen — ₹45 LPA. The only one of its kind.
That's the pattern that's followed me everywhere since: drop me into a room I don't belong in, and I'll figure out how to earn my place.
At Microsoft, I worked on the team behind product activation — the 16-digit keys that make every copy of Office, Windows, and Visual Studio actually turn on. Invisible infrastructure at planet scale. You only hear about it when it breaks.
At Uber, I built data pipelines for internal developers. My customers were my own coworkers. Fastest feedback loop I've ever had — and the clearest lesson in what "shipped" actually means.
Six years of building things other people depend on. That's the muscle I took with me when I left.
The pivot
In 2025, I quit. Made one rule: try a new career every couple of weeks until something clicks. Fifty is the stretch goal.
Four months in, I'm at seven — florist, mural artist, telemarketer, community host, event marketer, exhibition designer. Different jobs. Same muscle: show up, learn fast, finish the thing.
I know what I'm built for now. The room where things are being built. That's why I'm here.

Creativity isn't a line on my résumé. It's how I've spent my time since I was a kid — murals, comics, reels, events, stories, brands. If what you're building needs someone who actually makes the thing, that's me.
Engineering at Microsoft. Data at Uber. Content on my own. Events for a community. Sales for a food chain. Design for a SaaS startup. I can talk to anyone on your team, pull my weight with all of them, and pitch whatever we're building to whoever needs to hear it.
Drop me in a room where nothing's figured out and no one's written a playbook — I'll find the way, and I'll see it through. No budget, I'll stretch it. No team, I'll build one. No precedent, even better. That's where I do my best work.
I walked away from Microsoft and Uber with no plan — just savings and instinct. Four months later, I've pulled off seven new careers. If you're building something worth betting on, I'm already in.
Seven brand-new careers in four months. All finished on deadline. None of them dramatic. Hand me hard problems, and I'll hand you back calm execution — no ego, no fire drills, no chaos spillover.
Genuinely. I'm fun to work with, I take things chill, and I show up for the people around me. Also — I know how to sell myself. That's a skill too.
"I'm not looking for just any room. I want the room where it happens."
Two kinds of roles:
Founder's Office · Chief of Staff
Creative Strategy · Brand & Marketing · Creative Operations
In either seat — give me room to experiment.
Give me room to experiment.
Let me be creative.
Hand me the hard problems.
