About

I’m Sajuddeen Foddugothi — a Software Development Manager, .NET expert, No Code Google App sheet builder and Entrepreneur passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems.

A technology professional and entrepreneur originally from Lakshadweep. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai and bring more than 18 years of experience across software development, IT management, business automation, and logistics operations.

My career journey blends corporate IT leadership with grassroots entrepreneurship. I started in customer support, advanced into technical leadership roles, and eventually specialized in building .NET-based enterprise systems, workflow automation solutions, and data-driven applications.

Beyond my corporate career, I am the founder of LakConnect.com — a digital and logistics initiative dedicated to improving connectivity and services for the people of Lakshadweep. What began as an informational and travel blog evolved into a full-service courier operation supporting mainland–island logistics. Today, I lead operations, develop custom automation tools, and continue expanding Lak Connect into a scalable digital logistics platform.

My passion lies in:

  • Building technology that solves real-world local problems
  • Automating business operations using AppSheet & Google Workspace
  • Creating niche software solutions for underserved regions
  • Sharing knowledge on financial independence and entrepreneurship

My long-term mission is to combine technology, automation, and logistics to positively impact communities in Lakshadweep while working toward financial freedom and sustainable growth.
