Who is Surya and what he does

Hi, I'm Surya, a software engineer with expertise in TypeScript and React.js. Currently working at GoTo Financial - Merchant Lending team as a Frontend Lead.

Beyond web apps, I develop mobile apps, developer tools, set up infrastructure and CI/CD, and integrate APIs like Notion or ChatGPT. Any challenge software engineering can solve, I’m on it.

I believe in pragmatic problem-solving, not being tied to specific tools or languages. My mission is to help businesses grow and operate efficiently.
