Ajay Raveendran

Professional background: Software Engineer at Linktree

I’m a retail inventory planner who changed careers well into my 30s to become a software engineer. If I can do it, literally anyone can.

What’s your motivation for becoming a DiR?

I understand first hand the challenges of changing careers. I’d like to help folks who are in a similar position to what I was in not too long ago.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Do regular activities like cooking, staying fit, grocery shopping & walking dogs count? If not, it’d be motorcycling, learning improv comedy, gaming, collecting indoor plants, building custom keyboards and fussing over coffee.

What is one book you’d recommend to read or watch?

Titanic. Jack’s chances were slim, but he made it.. almost.
