About

Geeth Sandaru — portrait
“I build tools that matter — software that solves real problems and outlives the hype. Technology earns its worth in the lives it makes better.”

I’m a software engineer and technical leader who builds systems meant to last. Over the past seven years I’ve gone from leading engineering at a startup as Director / VP of Software Engineering to leading delivery inside a global healthcare software firm. I care equally about the integrity of an architecture and the craft of how it’s expressed — the precision of engineering and the creativity of design are, to me, the same discipline.
