Hey, I'm Shreya. I work across engineering and policy. I'm currently in legal tech, and building a govtech startup focused on community consultation. I like taking messy, bureaucratic problems and make them accessible for communities.
✦A time
✦ Prologue
I grew up between two languages: policy and product. One writes the rules, the other rewrites them. I like translating between the two.
From parliamentary offices to startup war rooms, I keep ending up in places where the work is unglamorous and the impact is real: law firms drowning in facts, regulators trying to keep pace, founders trying to ship.
✦ Act I
Sales
"Stories that close."
To me, sales is about understanding each person's problem distinctly, their motivations, their incentives, and then working to solve it well. I listen first, then tell a story so that the problem is clear and the solution is clear enough. Having sat on both the technical and customer sides, I can speak to what people actually care about rather than reciting features.
✦ Act II
Chapter 1
· Scholarship
2024 - Present
I was fascinated by computers from a young age. I loved that technology was driven by innovation - that it could solve real problems in new, more sustainable ways. So I started a computer science degree, and was awarded the Co-op Scholarship, one of only four students chosen that year. That's where I built my foundations: everything from the low-level bits of how machines work up to algorithms, processes, and how technology actually gets built.
Chapter 2
Office of the Member for Berowra · Internship
May 2024 - Jun 2024
My first taste of how policy affects real people. Behind every member of parliament is a quiet machine of data, communication, and process and it was fascinating to work inside it. It was where I learned that the technical and the human aren't separate problems; they're the same one, viewed from different sides.
Chapter 3
Parliament of NSW · Part-time
Jul 2024 - Jan 2025 · 7 mos
Technology and policy advisor to the Hon. Jacqui Munro. Jacqui is the kind of politician who genuinely cares about innovative solutions, she'll hold her ground, but only after she's listened to every policy and community in the room. Working with her, I helped build technology policy and programs aimed at making AI more ethical and more sustainable.
Chapter 4
Mutinex · Internship
Sep 2024 - Apr 2025 · 8 mos
Sydney, NSW
I shipped inside a marketing-mix modelling platform, joining just after their Series A. It's where I learned how real product teams actually move, how to build a product scope, write the code, review and ship it to real users. Startup environment taught me how to move fast, iterate and scale.
Chapter 5
Mary Technology · Full-time
Apr 2025 - Present
The first GTM hire and employee number ten at 19 years old. At Mary, I do growth, sales, and all the operations holding it together. I've spent this chapter scaling a mission I care about, making legal work more accessible and honestly, more structured and enjoyable for the lawyers doing it.
✦ Act III
My north star is legal, government and regulation — places where clarity is a public good.
✦ Epilogue
Building something in legal, government, or regulation? Or just want to swap notes on going from policy to product? I'd love to hear about it.
