Meet Our Mentors: Bhaskar Dutt
Bhaskar Dutt
Senior Director of Engineering, Nordstrom
I am a software engineering leader specializing in the data, analytics, and machine learning (ML) space. I currently lead the data and ML platform organization as a Senior Director of Software Engineering at Nordstrom.
“I love mentoring driven, passionate professionals looking to grow into leadership positions — it gives me a strong sense of fulfillment to use my experiences to help others clarify their path.”
As a mentor, I excel at…
- Switching from individual contributor to people management role
- Growing as a leader
- Leadership challenges
- The intersection of software engineering, product management, and ML/data science
When I have free time, I…
read, climb, play with my dogs, spend time with my family, run, and learn.
I find inspiration…
by seeking to understand things.
I describe myself as…
an eternal student.
My favorite book is…
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. Never has there been an author who combined his gentle humor, wisdom, and ability to weave a rousing story. Masterful.
