Engineering Leader
Suneel Shastry
Full-stack developer with a Master's in Computer Science & Engineering and 9+ years of experience building software. I bring technical depth, team leadership, and the ability to create clarity in ambiguous environments. I care about writing good code, leading teams well, and making sure the right problems get solved.
About Me
I got into software engineering the way most people do — I liked building things and realized I could make a career out of it. What I didn't expect was how much I'd come to care about the people side. Over 9+ years, I've found that the best technical outcomes come from teams that are well-led, not just well-staffed.
My career has taken me from full-stack development at NetApp, where I cut my teeth on Angular and enterprise-scale applications, through Cisco where I built reusable component libraries used across multiple product teams, to Secureworks where I worked on security platforms handling threat detection and vulnerability data. At HeroDevs, I led the modernization of a decades-old debt collection application for Santander Bank, and currently serve as a senior engineer and lead on the End of Life Dataset project — building tools that help users scan their dependencies and secure their release lines from vulnerable packages.
I write code, I review architecture, and I make sure the people doing the work have what they need to do it well. I hold a Master's in Computer Science.
