About Kanishq Sunil

I\'m a Software Engineer at ServiceNow with a passion for building solutions that genuinely help people solve problems. What drives me is the intersection of technical challenge and real-world impact—whether I\'m designing platform-wide systems that prevent data loss or optimizing performance to make workflows more efficient. I believe the best software is invisible in its complexity but visible in the value it delivers to users.With a Master of Engineering in Software Engineering from the University of Maryland and over four years of experience across ServiceNow, HackerRank, and Citibank, I work full-stack, focusing on enhancing customer experience and system performance. I approach each project by listening carefully to understand specific needs, then crafting thoughtful solutions that make a positive difference. Beyond code, I\'m an avid strategy game enthusiast and technology explorer—interests that shape how I think through complex problems and long-term architectural decisions. I also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, where I had the privilege of mentoring the next generation of software engineers in algorithms and reverse engineering.
