Who I am
My name is Sushana Thomas. My path to software engineering began outside of the traditional technology space. I started my career as an Operator in the security and investigations industry, where I gained experience in field operations, emergency response, databases, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving in fast-paced environments. I later transitioned into social services, where my work became more directly centered around supporting individuals and communities. That experience strengthened my ability to listen, communicate with empathy, understand different perspectives, and find solutions based on the needs of the people I served. Throughout each stage of my career, one thing has remained consistent: my passion for people and community. Whether working behind the scenes, supporting individuals directly, or solving complex problems, I've always been drawn to work that allows me to make a meaningful impact. Today, as a software engineer and web developer, I bring those experiences into technology with a passion for creating thoughtful, accessible, and meaningful digital solutions. I'm excited to continue growing my technical skills while using technology as another way to serve, connect, and positively impact the communities around me.
