# Saravanan Kuppuswamy > Staff Engineer at SoFi Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/saravanankuppuswamy I've been working as a software engineer since 2007. I value accountability and embrace new challenges. I have been known as the “nice guy” and have been told that I’m approachable, helpful and cordial. This is important to me because, besides the technical aspect, having good relationships with colleagues makes the work more enjoyable; after all we do spend most of the day with them :) I believe open and clear communication often results in the best solution. IMO, collaborating and listening to others usually produces such an outcome. ## Work Experience ### Staff Engineer @ SoFi Jan 2019 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States I am building a new credit card product from the ground up.
