In this exciting episode of The Mainstreet Minds Podcast, Amish Munshi sits down with Neethu Elizabeth Simon, a Senior Software Engineer at Intel, to explore her journey from studying engineering in India to driving innovation in AI and computer vision in Arizona.
Neethu shares how her love for science (and a few helpful cousins) led her into tech, and how she's now helping shape the future of intelligent hardware and software optimization at Intel. From machine learning to real-time computer vision in retail checkout systems, she breaks down how technology is advancing faster than ever—and why Arizona has become a hotspot for innovation.
We also talk about the growing role of AI in industries like healthcare and autonomous vehicles, and how quantum computing may soon supercharge it all. Neethu gives fantastic career advice for aspiring tech professionals, including what tools to learn and why being curious and adaptable is your biggest strength.
You'll also hear about Neethu's passion for volunteering, especially through the Society of Women Engineers and robotics programs for girls, where she encourages the next generation of STEM leaders.
