My name is Suraj Sangani. I am a Staff Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience working in medium and large scale enterprises. I started off as an intern at Amazon progressing all the way to SDE II before moving to Galileo (now Sofi Technology Solutions) as a Senior Software Engineer where I have been for the last 5.5 years.
In this blog, I intend to talk about my experiences and share some of the things I have learned along the way. Some of it I have lived through directly, some of it I have watched happen to others, and I hope a bit of it resonates with you. Please join the chat below if you would like to discuss or debate on anything related to software engineering. I am always up for a robust discussion about what folks run into in their day-to-day jobs. And do subscribe if this sounds like your kind of thing. I plan to post about once a month.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
