CATEGORY IN PROFILE
Techs, bugs and a rockin’ role Self-confessed “huge nerd” Shannon Kularathna has put his knowledge to great use. As a technical writer for what many see as the holy grail of tech companies – the mighty Google – Shannon works at the forefront of online and virtual innovation.
Shannon says, “One of the biggest challenges at Google is Impostor Syndrome, as I’m surrounded by incredibly skilled people who are the best in their fields. I have two years’ of experience as a technical writer, and there are moments when I feel like I absolutely do not belong. “A big part of it is to give myself a break, letting myself know that they wouldn’t have hired me if I weren’t a good choice.” Shannon grew up in Sri Lanka and studied an Engineering degree from the University of Wolverhampton at the Colombo International Nautical and Engineering College (CINEC), Sri Lanka, before moving to Toronto, Canada.
