About

Founder, Engineer, Mentor, Activist.

SOWMYA GURU

I am a Technology Expert and a Freelance Android Developer based in Berlin.

I have been working in the IT sector since 2008. I started as a Systems Engineer at TCS building the frontend account opening application for Citibank - Headquarters in Long Island.

I have experience building, recruiting, managing IT and RnD teams at different startups since 2012.

I founded a company at age 26 called Leillo, and ran it successfully by growing the user-base of 6000 users and 30% paying users in a span of three years without seed or VC funding. The company sunset due to the inability to solve the logistics problem in 2015.

I moved to Berlin in 2015 and have been working as a full-time Android Dev until 2020. During the pandemic in 2020 I transitioned into freelancing in Berlin.

I also started my company Night Owl Labs a design and development studio in India in 2021 which services clients globally.

As a Head Of Technology I have been advising xEnabler with their technological strategies for more than two years now.

In my free time I advocate for DEI fairness and have been working on my community Coder Bee to help underrepresented folks to transform and sustain in IT since 2017.
