Hello!! I’m Grace - a Master’s student in IT, majoring in Cybersecurity, deeply passionate about technology, data protection, and building a more inclusive tech community. My journey into tech began at Amazon India, where I worked as a Machine Learning Data Associate and discovered my love for secure systems - especially when managing assets for my team. I discovered the real-world impact of secure systems and the value of being both a learner and a leader. Since moving to Sydney, my journey has been shaped by growth, faith, and a desire to give back. Guided by the verse, “Seek, and you shall find,” I’m proud to help launch Sydney’s first IT CodeFair. I’m here to champion curiosity, confidence, and connection - and to remind every student that there’s space for them in tech, exactly as they are.
Hi, I’m a Master of Data Science student with a curious mind that loves analyzing the world through data. I’m a tech enthusiast and have explored roles such as Blockchain Researcher, Technical Project Lead, IT Engineer, and Business Analyst. One of my most rewarding experiences thus far, has been at AWS, where I collaborated with global IT teams, built internal tools, managed data systems, and learned from professionals in AI, ML, and Business Intelligence. Beyond work, I’m passionate about giving back; over the past few years I’ve helped senior citizens get comfortable with technology, and now I teach coding, robotics, and AI to young students. During my undergrad, I founded and led student organisations like the ACM-W Student Chapter and WISDOM (Women in STEM Discipline of Marymount) to build supportive communities and a thriving environment for women in tech. Now, as President of CDU Sydney IT Students Association (CDU SISA) and a Code Fair Ambassador, I’m excited to continue that mission — connecting students, ideas, and opportunities to grow together.
Hi, I’m Kamana Thapa, a Master’s in Cybersecurity student at Charles Darwin University, driven by a deep curiosity for technology and the transformative power of digital trust. My journey began with a fascination for how systems communicate and defend themselves, evolving into a mission to make technology safer, smarter, and more inclusive. From configuring secure networks to developing an ML-based Phishing Link Detection System, I’ve explored the intersection of innovation and integrity. I see cybersecurity not just as protection, but as a bridge that connects people, empowers communities, and inspires the next generation to navigate technology with confidence and purpose.
My name is Isha, and I’m an IT student majoring in Information Systems, as well as the Vice President of CDU SISA. As an Ambassador for the IT Code Fair, I’m driven to inspire students to step forward, showcase their skills, and take advantage of the opportunities this event creates. I see the Code Fair as more than just a competition—it’s a launchpad for innovation, industry connections, and career growth. My goal is to motivate students to participate in workshops, challenges, and project exhibitions, and to make sure every voice in our IT community feels seen, supported, and encouraged to succeed.
Hi, I am Manisha Gautam, a Master of Data Science student at CDU Sydney. I am passionate about learning how data can be used to solve real-world problems and love discovering new ways to make sense of information. But when I am not buried in code or assignments, you will most probably find me with my Kindle, lost in the pages of a book.
