Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaroja Gade is a Technical Lead and Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience designing, developing, and migrating large-scale Drupal web applications across the Washington DC–Baltimore area. She combines hands-on engineering—building custom dashboards with PostgreSQL and Solr, Memcached performance tuning, and ELK-based monitoring—with strong delivery practices like CI/CD, SonarQube checks, and TDD/BDD to ensure reliable, observable releases. Known for leading cross-functional teams, she reduces migration risk through proactive agile risk management and clear release roadmaps, cutting delays by roughly 30% in past projects. Saroja also mentors developers, enforces coding standards, and translates product priorities into sprint backlogs and LOE estimates, balancing technical excellence with stakeholder transparency. An interesting detail: she has driven integrations that turn Drupal sites into real-time analytics platforms, marrying traditional CMS work with data-driven decision-making.
