What people say
"On the surface, it's nothing short of a miracle that you're here 2 years after joining. You joined as an intern in the most turbulent time of Gitpod in 2022. In a role that was not really defined. But having worked with you, it's not a miracle. Siddhant is result-oriented like crazy, passionate like a co-founder, a humble team player. I am grateful I got to work with you a lot in the past, and I am excited to see where you are going with us."
Michael Aring
Head of EMEA at Ona (formerly Gitpod)
"No one works faster or harder than Siddhant. In a short period, he built out our CMS, refactored countless lines of legacy code, and migrated us to an entirely new backend, all with precision, care, and speed. Siddhant is the definition of all-hands-on-deck. He routinely stepped far outside his purview, jumping in on quick wins, product features, and anything the team needed to move faster. He is one of the most thoughtful, passionate, and growth-minded people I've ever worked with. Any team would be lucky to have him!!"

"Siddhant embodies intelligence, resourcefulness, reliability, and an eagerness to learn. Despite not being on the same team, he has made countless contributions to our team's codebase, and has even helped out in incident calls. In only a couple of weeks he onboarded quickly, fixed several important long-standing bugs, and created new internal docs. His passion, excellence, and teamwork are assets to any team. He is fast becoming a force to reckon with."
Laurie Malau
Fractional Chief of Staff
"It was an absolute delight to have Siddhant as a member of my team for the past 1 1/2 years. Despite initially coming from a backend engineering background, Siddhant seamlessly transitioned to frontend development, mastering a new tool stack in record time and ultimately taking charge of our website implementation. His insatiable curiosity and eagerness to explore new avenues truly set him apart. Without hesitation, I would recommend Siddhant to any organization seeking a dedicated, talented, and all-around exceptional team member."
Christin Tostrup
Lead Designer at Coder
"It was a privilege to work alongside Siddhant on our team. Whether building products, developing websites, or tackling bugs, Siddhant consistently brought a proactive approach and high level of activity. He readily embraces challenges and possesses a creative spark that often led to innovative product feature suggestions. Siddhant's collaborative spirit and humility make him a fantastic team player. His enthusiasm for developer tools is contagious."

"I had the pleasure of working with Siddhant during my time at Gitpod. I watched him wear several hats: from supporting open source efforts, contributing to technical blog posts, highlighting ecosystem updates all the way to leading website development efforts. Not only is his technical expertise one to highlight but his passion, drive and ambition makes him uniquely standout from the crowd. Any organisation would be extremely lucky to have him!"

"I've only watched Siddhant's progress on the website rearchitecture & rewrite from the sidelines, but the constant drive to execute perfectly, the refinement of the design from a tech side and the comms he sent were a pleasure to watch and read."
