Hey there 👋 I'm Sid

I'm an Engineering Manager at GitHub currently supporting the Code Scanning Security Experiences team.

I am passionate about building high-performing teams with high psychological safety 💪🧠. I started my career in software engineering at MathWorks building Stateflow, a Model Based Design tool for modelling, simulation and generating code for State Machines. I moved from the US 🇺🇸 to Canada 🇨🇦🍁 in 2018 to increase my exposure to distributed systems, and have worked at startups in the FinTech and EdTech spaces before coming to GitHub.

In my career, I've worked predominantly with C++, JavaScript, Java and Python, but I have a special place in my heart for Scala, Rust and MATLAB. ❤️

Fun facts about me:

• I am terrified of heights, but have been skydiving (AMA!) 🪂
• I love collecting currency notes, and have been collecting since I was 8 💷
• I love reading books - lately, I've been reading books by Brandon Sanderson, particularly the Misborn series and the Stormlight archive, diving deep into the worlds and characters laid out in those stories.
