Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it’s bad.

Hi there! I'm Sushmitha.

I am a software professional with over 5 years of diverse experience, ranging from backend to full-stack development. My journey in the event management and consumer software industry has honed my skills and passion for crafting innovative solutions.

Currently, I serve as a founding engineer at Privado Dining, where I'm laser-focused on creating customer-facing applications that revolutionize how restaurant event directors manage events. Our work encompasses everything from seamless bookings and payments to document generation and contract management.

Before joining Privado, I had the privilege of contributing to Twitter's Consumer Software team. There, I worked on strategic projects to enhance the reliability and availability of Twitter's production services.

I hold a master's degree in computer science from the University of Utah. I enjoy working with others and using technology to solve real-world problems.

Let's connect and explore how we can make a difference together.
