Hello, It me!

A bit about me:

• I'm Suraksha, and often go by Suki. My pronouns are she/her.

• I'm an Engineering Manager working mainly with the C#/.Net tech stack, alongside SQL Server, AWS, K8s, and small bits of React.js. My management readme is here. 

• I currently live in Calgary, Canada. Previously, I lived in New York City, I call New Zealand home, and I was born in Bangalore, India.

• My favourite job was being a team lead of graduate developers. I loved mentoring, coaching, and helping them acclimatise to a workplace environment. 

• I'm married to an academic - he's a research professor specialising in hardware security and also shares a passion in teaching and mentoring. Check out his work here!

• I enjoy cooking, fiber arts (crochet, knitting, cross stitch), reading, playing video games (but not FPSs), watching shows.

• While I love trying to cook new cuisines, I am terrible at following recipes. I generally pick a dish, read a few different recipes, and merge ingredients and methods from them all. 

• My cat, Jelly basically rules the household these days, but its ok because she's very cute!

• I enjoy coffee - drinking it, making it, learning about it. I spent a lot of time in my uncle's coffee roastery in Bangalore growing up, so its always been a part of me.

• I'm a big fan of llamas. I have no idea how the admiration began but its now somehow become a part of my personal brand.
