Overview
The stuff a resume can't capture.
Mahek Sota
Software Engineer — Backend & AI
I tend to build the things that aren’t on the roadmap yet, but quickly become necessary. My resume explains what I’ve shipped. This page shows you how I operate while shipping, stepping into debugging threads early, improving systems that create friction, and making sure both people and infrastructure move forward.
Why this exists
Resumes summarize outcomes. Performance reviews summarize scope. They don’t capture the smaller, unassigned contributions, mentoring a teammate through infrastructure issues, automating repetitive workflows, or tightening systems that were technically “working” but not efficient. This page documents that context, how I think, how I take ownership, and how I approach building beyond the task at hand.
