I build software, and the businesses that run on it.
I’m Vinam Tuteja, a BC-based software engineer and founder. By day I build product at JobGet. Through Vinara Software Co. I help local businesses grow with modern software and run self-serve platforms of my own.
When I’m not building, I’m exploring. Books and new places are where my best ideas start.

Two tracks, one craft
Engineer by trade. Entrepreneur by instinct.
The engineer
A decade of building production software.
From internships at Absolute Software and Ciena, to e-commerce at Best Buy Canada, to shipping product at JobGet today. I care about clean architecture, fast interfaces and software that holds up in the real world.
See my journeyThe founder
Building companies, not just code.
I co-founded Health in Time as a student and learned what it takes to take an idea to market. Today Vinara Software Co. builds for local clients and runs its own self-serve platforms.
