Hi, I'm Amarinder. I create software products for the health enterprise @ ConvergeHEALTH. In over 17 years, I’ve worked on all aspects of enterprise software – strategy, consulting, delivery and product development. While doing that, I have built successful teams to design, engineer and ship software products.
I am interested in building meaningful software and great team environments. I write to distill and share related ideas that impact me the most.
Personally, ever since I have become a parent, the topics of life, work and meaning have converged for me. Writing helps me explore the confluence of those ideas as well.
I have a weekly(ish) email newsletter, Soul of an Engineer, which you can subscribe for updates.
