Sajith Purushothaman

My career is driven by a deep love for programming and problem-solving, which began during my academic pursuits and has shaped my professional trajectory.

Originally trained as a Civil Engineer, I cracked the GATE exam and cleared the SSB (Services Selection Board) Interview, but at that time, I was unsure of my true calling. While the SSB opportunity was prestigious, I chose to decline it and instead follow my passion for learning and exploration. Programming had always been a love of mine since my school days, though it had become a long-lost dream over the years. Determined to reconnect with that passion, I decided to pursue a path that would allow me to dive deeper into the world of technology and coding. I was admitted to several top-tier colleges, including IIT Guwahati, but I chose to join NIT Trichy for a research-based Master’s degree due to the unique, multidisciplinary nature of the project, which required coding expertise. I developed a software for Finite Element Analysis of single-layered lattice structures. This project reignited my passion for coding, led to the publication of three research articles (including two in Scopus-indexed journals), and was funded, allowing me to focus deeply on research and development.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, I joined Surge Software Solutions as a Java Developer, where I expanded my knowledge into AEM development. Post my Master’s, I declined an engineering role through college placement to continue my journey with Surge and I was deployed at Vation Digital as a consultant. My contributions led to my full-time absorption by Vation Digital, where I further honed my skills in Java-based application development, cloud solutions, and project management. At Vation, I was assigned roles of a project coordinator on top of being a developer. I decided to leave the AEM domain for Java based applications since it suited me very well. 

With a proven track record of delivering 5+ applications (including 2 mobile applications) across defense, banking, and e-commerce domains, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and project leadership. My ability to adapt, learn, and deliver in dynamic environments has been a cornerstone of my career, and I continue to strive for excellence in every project I undertake.
