The Engineer Behind Products That Scale.
I'm Suraj Sharma, a Staff Web Developer and one of India's most sought-after full stack engineers. I've shipped products used by 50 million+ people globally, led cross-functional teams, and built AI-powered platforms that redefine what software can do. From scaling Infoblox's marketing tech to engineering QuillBot's core writing product, I build things that last.

How I work
I like to get my
hands dirty
trying new tools.
I meant literally as well.
I learn by doing. I experiment, build, break things, fix them, and do it all over again. That's how I grow as a developer.

What I build
off-screen.
Engineering doesn't stop when I close VS Code. Whether it's a 3D-printed airframe, a trail summit, or a sunrise from a cliff edge — the process is always the same: understand, design, build, improve, repeat.
