about me
hi, i'm soham sattigeri! these days i have been spending my time understanding the ads ecosystem in the era of ai and quick-commerce. i am a nerd for philosophy and love to code.
my journey in tech started with a angela yu's flutter course, which had me drolling down in the world of computer science and engineering. since then, i have worked in a bunch of startups, had my own stint at a failed startup as a cto and 2 years later, i'm here.
education
vishwakarma institute of technology
pune, indiabachelor's degree ~ electronics and telecommunication engineering
while my degree has no relevance to what i work in, my interests in soldering wires, breaking rasberry pies and playing with 8081 microcontrollers continue till date.
what drives me
1st principles
i may not know everything, but i know how to distil a topic into smaller problems. this mental model helps me understand the root of things and build solutions that are more robust and scalable.
agency over accountability
i believe in taking ownership of my work and being accountable for the results. results >> process.
curiosity
i believe in staying curious and learning new things. i believe in the power of curiosity and the ability to ask the right questions.
beyond code
when i'm not coding, you'll find me sipping on a cup hot brew of coffee, reading about fancy technologies or watching sam altman talking about AGI. i love reading and enjoy spending time with students to understand their thoughts and their approach in learning.
i'm always excited to discuss new ideas, collaborate on interesting projects, or simply chat about the latest developments in web technology over a cup of coffee.
