🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJenny Sivapalan is a Product Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building and leading engineering teams for high-traffic consumer and health-tech products. She has moved between hands-on product engineering and senior management roles, notably scaling Accurx’s engineering org from 20 to 70+ and later returning to craft-focused engineering at Suvera using TypeScript, React, and AWS. Her background spans fast-paced consumer platforms (Deliveroo), large-scale editorial systems (The Guardian) and healthcare, giving her a strong track record in reliability, performance, and team development. She combines technical delivery—migrating critical search and publishing infrastructure and improving publication latency—with people-leadership like mentoring, hiring fairness, and running fellowship programs. Known for making operational systems more resilient and for enabling engineers to grow through community engagement, she balances product empathy with engineering rigor. With an MSc in Computer Science and an earlier career in Java-heavy financial and classifieds systems, she brings broad technical depth and pragmatic product sensibility.
