I am Suraj Van Verma, a full-time Software Engineer with a Master's degree in Computer Science from McGill University. My professional journey is built on a foundation of academic excellence and a deep passion for technology that transforms lives and businesses.

My academic background at McGill provided me with a robust understanding of computer science principles, algorithms, and software architecture. This knowledge, combined with my professional experience, has enabled me to develop innovative solutions to complex technical challenges while maintaining a focus on user experience and business value.

As a content creator, I specialize in producing cinematic vlogs that capture the essence of experiences, places, and stories. My work has been featured on LinkedIn, where I share not only my creative endeavors but also insights into the evolving landscape of digital media and technology. Through my content, I aim to inspire others to see the world through a different lens and appreciate the beauty in everyday moments.

My entrepreneurial spirit has driven me to establish and lead my own startup, where we are working on cutting-edge technologies to address real-world challenges. Building a company from the ground up has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, strategic thinking, and the importance of assembling a team that shares a common vision and values.

Artificial Intelligence has always fascinated me, and I have dedicated significant time to understanding its potential and implications. I actively engage with the AI community, staying abreast of the latest developments and exploring how AI can be ethically integrated into various sectors to enhance efficiency and create new possibilities.

Perhaps one of my most fulfilling roles is as the founder of GradYard, a community dedicated to mentoring students who aspire to pursue academic excellence. Through GradYard, I provide guidance, resources, and support to help young minds navigate the complexities of higher education and research. Witnessing the growth and success of my mentees brings me immense joy and reinforces my belief in the power of knowledge sharing and community building.

When I'm not coding, creating content, running my startup, exploring AI, or mentoring students, you can find me reading about emerging technologies, hiking in nature, or engaging in thoughtful conversations about the future of innovation and education. I believe in continuous learning and am always open to new ideas and perspectives that challenge my thinking and broaden my horizons.
