Hi there!
I'm Tanya. Engineer by education, explorer by nature, now doing marketing at Zamp. I've tried more things than most people plan to, and I document the ride. Look around, and if something sparks, say hi.
Anything interesting on your mind?
I've always been the curious type, the kind who wanders more than she walks in a straight line. Six years at Microsoft and Uber taught me how to build things properly. Then I went exploring: murals, exhibitions, community dinners, live selling, and a dozen other experiments, most of them filmed and shared along the way.
What stays constant is the curiosity. I love learning how things work, making things, telling the story of it, and pulling people together.
Different on the surface, all the same underneath.
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.
Eight 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.
Somewhere in the middle, it clicked: I'd been marketing myself through every single one. So I made it the job.

Marketing myself through every one of those careers made something obvious: I'm a generalist, and I'm a marketer. So I went looking for the job that needed exactly that, and I found it.
Today I'm a marketer at Zamp, where we're building an AI employee that will reimagine the way the world works. The capabilities are genuinely mind-blowing, I still can't quite believe what it can do.
The 50-careers experiment didn't end, by the way. It just moved to weekends.
