Making Smaller Circles provides articles and resources to help Software Engineers and Technical Leaders grow to the next level.

Hey there, I am Luthfur Chowdhury, a Software Engineer, Manager and Leader with two decades of experience building software. Previously, I have worked at LinkedIn, Blackberry and various startups.

In 2014, I led the Engineering team at Careerify, a Toronto based startup, which we sold to LinkedIn. Since then, I have spent a few years building large scale AI products at LinkedIn in the Bay Area. Most recently I have worked at Ordergroove, a fast growing ecommerce business.

Over the years I have come to appreciate that building great software requires a combination of interdisciplinary skills ranging from technology, leadership and liberal arts. Some of the companies I admire such as Pixar, Apple and Basecamp are great examples of this.

If you want to learn more and grow as a technical leader and an engineer then you have come to the right place.
