Profile: https://flows.cv/sayyant

Hi! My name is Sayyant and I am a software engineer based in SF. In my short but dynamic tenure as a software engineer, I've come to realize that what excites me most about software engineering is the impact that lines of code can have on society. As such, I am constantly looking for opportunities where I am able to take initiative, grow from challenges and deliver impactful results in both my personal and professional work. 

A little bit about me- I've previously interned at Arcturus Intelligence, Shopify and at Amazon and I have specifically come to take an interest in developer productivity. Currently, I am working as a software developer at Semgrep as part of the Semgrep Supply Chain team, tackling challenges around helping customers easily gain visibility into and secure their codebase's third party libraries. 

I am always looking to meet and learn from others. Would love to connect!
