Every week, Niyati sits down with a group of learners for an hour and they build an AI project together. She's one of the leads, and she's learning right alongside everyone else in the room.
That's completely on purpose. Niyati is a firm believer that the best way to learn something new is to teach it - so she co-leads a NextWork Build & Brew group.
The psychology student who loves data
Niyati is a sophomore at UT Austin, studying Psychology and Informatics with a minor in Statistics and Data Science. It sounds like an unusual mix until you hear what she's into: how product thinking and data-driven insights turn into real-world impact.
She's also part of Texas Convergent, where students build their own products, plus Women in Psychology and Women in Data & Statistics. Busy semester!
The projects follow the people
Build & Brew is our community program where learners commit to one hour, every single week, to build a project together. In Niyati's group, the projects follow the people. She shapes each one around what her members are genuinely curious about, and she leads by getting to know everyone in the room.
So what are you in for if you join? MCPs, LLMs, Kubernetes and security projects, and a lot of fun along the way.
Off the screen
Niyati can memorize just about anything, which is a slightly unfair advantage in a room full of new acronyms. Away from her laptop, she's out hiking, at the movies, hanging out with her two dogs, or deep in a good chat with her family and roommates.
If you'd like to learn AI the way Niyati does, come build with her group, and say hi to her on LinkedIn.
