Sujana Pal
I’m a software developer at Deloitte with over 3.5 years of experience in backend engineering and cloud technologies. I began my career in the telecommunications sector, where I worked extensively on Java backend development, REST and GraphQL architectures, and large-scale database systems, including Cassandra and PostgreSQL. Over time, I expanded my expertise into AWS cloud solutions, CI/CD pipelines, security remediation, and real-time data processing systems. Alongside my technical journey, I have developed a strong interest in strategy, consulting, and product thinking, which has motivated me to pursue management education. Through my work, I’ve consistently aimed to solve complex business and technology problems with a balance of analytical thinking, innovation, and collaboration, while contributing positively to the teams I work with.
