Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuya L is a versatile software engineer with 14 years of experience building full-stack, backend, and DevOps solutions across healthcare, e-commerce, and telecom. Comfortable from frontend React/Next.js to backend services and infrastructure automation, Suya has led teams to decompose monoliths, automate CI/CD, and deliver scalable customer-facing products that reduced costs and improved UX. A consulting background trained them to move fast, communicate across disciplines, and align engineering work with business outcomes—evident in projects that migrated off AEM, automated critical customer emails, and launched mobile health apps. They contribute to open-source CAD tooling (notably VTR Verilog-to-Routing), focusing on code quality and low-level optimizations, which reflects deep systems instincts from a computer engineering background. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Suya pairs pragmatic engineering with mentorship and a user-first mindset, and outside work you'll find them bouldering or planning the next trip.
