She Almost Gave Up — Now She Builds Tech Systems

In this powerful and honest conversation, Sonal Harsh, a Senior DevOps Engineer, opens up about her journey from a traditional upbringing in India to working on complex infrastructure systems in the U.S. tech industry.

Sonal breaks down what DevOps really means in simple terms—comparing it to managing traffic routes to ensure speed, stability, and efficiency. She shares how she learned to think like an engineer, solve problems creatively, and build confidence over time.

Beyond her technical work, Sonal dives deep into personal growth. She talks openly about navigating ADHD, anxiety, and self-doubt, and how practices like meditation, yoga, and self-awareness have helped her stay grounded and focused.

She also reflects on redefining success—not as money or titles, but as happiness, self-respect, and fulfillment. After experiencing a layoff, Sonal shifted her mindset toward building multiple income streams and pursuing meaningful projects.

One of the most inspiring parts of her journey is her passion for animal rescue. Sonal shares how fostering dogs led her to develop an innovative idea: a low-cost tracking collar designed to help rescue organizations locate lost animals without expensive subscriptions.

This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out—you just need the courage to start, adapt, and believe in yourself.
