Pooja Mistry.

Technical thinking.
Human connection.

Give me a problem to solve.Let me show you how I think.

I’m a woman in tech with a developer’s curiosity, a manager’s sense of responsibility, and the determination to keep growing.

From building applications and supporting cloud environments to progressing from Crew Member to Manager at Tim Hortons, I’ve learned to approach challenges with both technical thinking and a people-first mindset. My path hasn’t been conventional, but every chapter has strengthened my ability to adapt, take ownership, and work with people—and it’s a journey I’m proud of.

Now, I’m ready to bring that experience to my next opportunity in IT: a team where I can contribute, keep learning, and turn real problems into practical solutions.

Let’s start with a conversation. I’m ready to show you what I can bring to your team.

A little about me

01 / About me

Different experiences.
A shared purpose.

My career connects two worlds: technology and people. I've developed business applications, supported cloud environments, and helped users resolve technical issues.

At Tim Hortons, I grew from Crew Member to Manager, building experience in team coaching, daily operations, and customer care. Both sides of my career have strengthened how I communicate, take ownership, and solve problems.

My approach: understand the problem, work with people, and make things work better.
01Understand the need.
02Build a practical solution.
03Support the people.

02 / Experience, beyond the job title

Two worlds.
One problem-solving mindset.

From building applications to leading a busy team, my work has always been about making things work better—for the people who use them.

Different settings.The same curiosity, care, and ownership.
THE BUILDER

Turning everyday needs
into working software.

At The Root Tech, I developed administration, billing, and job-portal applications. I worked across the front end, application logic, and databases to bring business requirements into practical use.

THE PROBLEM-SOLVER

Helping cloud environments
work reliably.

At Swar Sadhna, I supported AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. Migration work, access management, infrastructure configuration, and troubleshooting showed me the value of reliable systems and clear documentation.

WHERE IT STARTED

Making technology easier for people.

My early work at Friends New English School Trust combined IT troubleshooting with office support—an introduction to solving problems and communicating clearly with people.
