About Me

Hi! I'm Sweatha and I want to help you succeed and do amazing things. I am currently a Director of Engineering at Truveta leading cross functional initiatives and working with a mission of saving lives with data. Prior to this, I spent a decade at Microsoft where I grew from an entry level engineer to an Engineering Leader managing managers.

For the last few years, I have been mentoring engineers, PMs and managers and have helped them grow in their careers. Some of the happiest moments in my life are when my mentees come back to me to share that they have achieved what they wanted to and that they greatly benefited from my coaching.

Feel free to book some time to chat with me about career growth, breaking into management, negotiation, interviewing, job transitions, being a woman in tech, networking, work life balance, imposter syndrome and more! Let's get you where you want to go!
