Puneet Kaur is a Software Engineer with a background in computer science and a strong passion for artificial intelligence, product innovation, and scalable systems. Her academic and professional journey has been driven by a deep curiosity about how technology can be used not just to solve technical problems, but to create meaningful business impact and improve the way people work.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Arizona State University, where she built a strong foundation in software engineering, systems design, algorithms, cybersecurity, and enterprise technology. Throughout her academic journey, she developed a growing interest in the intersection of technology and business strategy, particularly in how emerging technologies like AI can drive operational efficiency, smarter decision-making, and innovation at scale.
Professionally, her experience in financial services technology has exposed her to the importance of building secure, reliable, and scalable systems in highly regulated environments. Working within banking and lending operations has strengthened her understanding of enterprise systems, process optimization, automation, and the critical role technology plays in supporting business performance.
What excites Puneet most about the future of technology is artificial intelligence and its ability to reshape industries. She is especially interested in AI applications that enhance productivity, improve decision-making, and create better user experiences while maintaining strong governance, security, and responsible implementation. Rather than viewing AI purely as a technical tool, she sees it as a strategic enabler that can transform products, workflows, and entire organizations.
Beginning in 2026, Puneet will pursue a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in Business through the W. P. Carey School of Business to further deepen her expertise at the intersection of AI strategy, business transformation, and technological innovation.
She aspires to grow into a leader who can bridge engineering, product strategy, and business vision to build technology that is secure, scalable, human-centered, and designed to solve real-world challenges. She is passionate about continuous learning, thoughtful innovation, and contributing to a future where technology creates lasting value for both organizations and the people they serve.
