About

who I am + what I build

I’m Suraj Sheela , a Computer Science graduate from the University of North Texas (Magna Cum Laude, 3.8 GPA) and a Software Systems Engineer at UNT System. I build fast, reliable, and cleanly engineered systems across secure APIs, cloud automation, analytics pipelines, dashboards, and AI-powered applications.

My experience spans Cloud/DevOps and backend engineering: containerization, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and data modeling. I’m comfortable going end-to-end: design the architecture, build it, instrument it, and deliver it in a way that stakeholders can actually use and trust.

At TaskUs, I worked on AI-driven features and Salesforce workflows to improve engagement and operational efficiency. At UNT System, I’ve helped modernize infrastructure workflows and support automation/analytics initiatives that reduce manual reporting and improve visibility.

I’m focused on shipping high-impact systems in production environments and continuously raising the bar on engineering quality, scalability, and operational excellence.

Core focus
  • Backend + API design (security, auth, performance)
  • Cloud/DevOps (IaC, CI/CD, containers, automation)
  • Observability (metrics/logs/traces, dashboards, reliability)
  • Applied AI (LLMs/transformers, practical integrations)

Recommendations

excerpted from letters of recommendation
Suraj was one of the most driven and team-oriented interns I’ve worked with. He led the launch of an AI-powered chatbot, built custom Salesforce tools, and improved efficiency and engagement through measurable iteration.
Emily Creevy
Business Development Executive, TaskUs
Suraj consistently exceeded expectations. He became a go-to resource for CI/CD improvements, infrastructure automation, and process optimization — bringing solutions, not just questions.
