Profile: https://flows.cv/sukhpreet

From a very early age, I was interested in learning more about the world and solving problems. I realized that solving complex problems with technology as an engineer would allow me to see the solution immediately after building it and scale globally. I realized that iOS apps had the best infrastructure for growth. 

I obsess over building the best frontend and backend solutions and optimizing the customer experience. I run A/B tests rigorously and manage product risks proactively. I feed my curiosity by developing innovative products that solve real world problems.

Outside of work, I love trying out new restaurants, traveling, and going on hikes.
