Hi! Suraj here. I'm a software developer, mostly doing backend web dev. Python has been my go-to language for six years, and I've used it to build backend services of different types like HTTP APIs and chatbots and wrapper APIs and websockets and plumbing for automation and working with microservices and profiling performance and other odds and ends like that. I've been working for a few years, since mid-2018. I liked what I've been working on, mostly.

I've been into computers for a very long time, but I don't think I really gave any thought to working in software full-time until I was a couple of semesters into my undergraduate degree. I guess what I am really into is a sense of futurism? But also trying to understand how we got to where we are, in all senses, optimistic and otherwise. I think that's what I'd call a common thread between whatever I'd had on my mind throughout my life so far.

Right now: I was last working as a Senior Software Developer at Cognida from February 2024 to January 2025. I am currently open to new roles - you can find my resume here: single-page | long. I've also been futzing around with Janet as a replacement for Python in my personal life, for scripting and whatnot. Although I'm not a very prolific programmer, you can see my GitHub account here.
