Get to know me!

Hi, my name is Ranjeeth, you can call me Ran and I am an Engineering Manager based in Sydney, Australia with a background in Java, AWS, and NodeJS

My tech journey started as a full-stack Java engineer with Java, node, vanilla JavaScript , Angular & later React. Gradually, transitioned into Java backend development building Microservices, event driven pattern, API, integration etc.

As a manager, I still code, validate & challenge solutions, review PR, make crucial architectural decisions, and formulate effective strategies.

My leadership philosophy centers on supporting my teammates' growth and career progression, helping them advance into roles such as Engineering Managers, Principal Engineers, or Team Leads. I believe in granting autonomy and fostering collaboration within the team. Transparent communication, encouraging all opinions, and making informed decisions are key principles I follow. I do say 'NO' and the reason behind it.

I'm driven by optimizing processes and inspiring innovation not only within my team but also across teams. I utilize advancements to enhance efficiency and cultivate a creative culture. My role extends beyond project management; it's about empowering every team member to contribute their expertise, driving us towards greater achievements collaboratively.

Beyond work, I'm passionate about travel (7 continents & 30 countries so far), meeting new people, and trying diverse cuisines. I enjoy playing soccer, cricket, do ocean swims & a bit of Muay thai.

I'm currently learning to surf, which is more challenging than I expected.
