About

Hi! I’m Suran.

A little about me. I’ve worked as a developer, designer, and product manager, which gives me a good understanding of how great digital experiences are created and how to lead teams to make them. I focus on making complex problems simple and creating digital solutions that really work for people.

I love exploring new possibilities to solve problems people face online and empowering my team to think creatively. I’m also big on streamlining internal processes to make everything run more smoothly and efficiently. One of my strengths is building strong relationships around shared goals. Whether I’m shaping product strategy or fine-tuning the details, I focus on collaboration and delivering results.

I’m based in the DC Metro area, where I live with my wife, two kids, and cat. When I’m offline, you’ll find me playing games with the family, hiking in some forest, or suffering as a Miami Dolphins fan. If the color scheme of this site gives you a hint, you’ll know exactly where my loyalties lie!
