ABOUT
The work behind
the perspective.
I’m Sandeepan Sharma. My experience spans product companies, consulting and in-house technology.
At Expedia Group, I lead a global engineering team across Europe, the United States and India, delivering People Technology platforms and advancing AI and innovation across my area of responsibility.
Three perspectives on the same decisions
Working at a product company taught me to consider how a platform evolves and what it takes to support it at scale. Implementing technology for clients taught me to work through constraints, competing priorities, and the gap between a design and its delivery.
Operating technology inside a business adds another perspective: living with the decisions after launch. Adoption, reliability, data quality, and the day-to-day experience all become part of the same responsibility.
Together, these experiences shape my judgment: a sound technical choice also has to work for the people building it, delivering it, and using it.
Selected work
I led system consolidation and optimisation across Time and Absence, Learning, Recruiting, and Compensation. That work includes 12 systems consolidated and US$6 million in savings through consolidation and optimisation.
My AI and innovation work spans experimentation, production deployment and adoption, including two AI agents deployed to production and enabling Glean for enterprise search and knowledge access. At Salesforce, I started and led the innovation council for my function.
I’ve built technology teams from the ground up at three organisations. At Salesforce, I led three engineering teams comprising approximately 17 engineers; at Appirio, I scaled a SaaS-focused managed services team to more than 30 engineers.
Clear direction, the authority to make decisions and accountability for outcomes matter as much as the initial hiring. I focus on developing leaders who help the team grow.
Platforms and experience
My experience includes Expedia Group, Salesforce, Appirio, Cognizant and Mercer. I work across enterprise platforms including Workday, Salesforce and ServiceNow, with AWS providing cloud and AI infrastructure. My AI platforms and tools include Glean, Sana, Claude and Codex.
These are the foundations behind the questions I explore here: how to simplify work across systems, build accountable teams and turn promising technology into dependable services.
