Really happy to share a milestone that means a lot to me 🚀 I recently received my first LLAMA Award – Q1 2026 🏆 and also had the opportunity to receive monthly awards during both my internship and full-time engineer. Looking back, it feels amazing to see how much has changed within such a short time. I started my journey as an intern, completed 6 months of internship, and joined back full-time in July. Since then, the learning, exposure, and growth have honestly been on another level. I got the chance to collaborate with incredibly talented seniors and experienced people across teams, work on impactful things, and constantly push myself beyond what I thought I could do this early in my career. One thing I truly realized over these months is how powerful continuous learning can be. The more I explored, built, asked questions, and took ownership, the faster everything started compounding. I genuinely feel my growth has been exponential, and this recognition feels like a reflection of that journey. As an entry-level engineer who is about to complete 1 year in the industry this July, moments like these feel really special. Not just because of the awards, but because they remind me how far I’ve come from day one. A huge thanks to my manager Sandeep Suthari for recognizing and believing in my work, and to all the seniors and teammates I had the chance to work with and learn from. Every conversation, feedback session, challenge, and collaboration played a huge role in shaping my journey so far. This is definitely just the beginning. A lot more to learn. A lot more to build. 🚀 #Growth #Learning #Achievement #Engineering #CareerGrowth #ServiceNow #SoftwareEngineering #Gratitude #llama
