From app creator to innovation catalyst: Meet Sharmila. 💡
Software engineer, Sharmila, designs and creates intuitive, visually appealing interfaces for mobile and computer applications. Her curious mind and appetite for discovery means users enjoy a seamless digital product experience.
"I'm like a builder who designs and creates the fun buttons and pictures you see when using apps on your mobile or computer. Making sure everything looks super cool and easy to use is what I always aim for."
“One of my most memorable projects involved developing a specialised app for colleagues at one of our manufacturing plants. It helped to streamline operations by enabling efficient tracking of essential components like spare parts, equipment, and moulds. By providing workers with easy access to critical information, we were able to enhance productivity and ensure smooth operations throughout the plant.”
Sharmila revels in the unique blend of creativity and problem-solving her role demands.
“So… coding might seem purely technical, but there's actually a lot of creative thinking involved in finding elegant solutions to complex problems. Also, the diversity of our team's skills and backgrounds is so impressive. This makes for a more dynamic exchange of ideas and innovative approaches to the challenges we face.”
However, as well as the chance to indulge her passion for innovation, there are many more reasons for Sharmila to remain with the LEGO Group.
“I love that there is such an emphasis on quality and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the world. Being here has exceeded my expectations in so many ways, from the inspiring work environment to the opportunity to collaborate with talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. I'm excited to continue growing and learning with the LEGO® team."
Since joining us, Sharmila's role has evolved significantly. Initially focused on frontend development, she has expanded her expertise to encompass full-stack development, showcasing her adaptability and willingness to embrace new challenges.
“My people leader has been an amazing support in my career development. I’ve had access to so much - training programmes, workshops, resources. But I guess this is in keeping with our culture of continuous learning. We are encouraged to explore new areas of interest and take on challenging projects."

“Team brainstorms around more imaginative approaches to work and implementing innovative features in our projects are another great source of learning. We all take pride in collaborating, and open communication means we share ideas freely and receive constructive feedback, fostering collaboration and growth.”
At the LEGO Group, well-being is a top priority. Leadership promotes a culture of balance and self-care, ensuring colleagues have the support they need for their overall well-being. Together, the team strives to create a healthy and fulfilling work-life balance.
”Feedback and mentorship are also integral parts of our learning journey, helping us to develop new skills and expand our expertise."
For Sharmila, this is how learning comes most naturally.
"We have a dedicated team of colleagues who collaborate closely to deliver innovative solutions and products. Our supportive culture empowers us to excel in our roles and achieve our goals. Additionally, our commitment to teamwork and communication ensures that we leverage each other's strengths and expertise to deliver high-quality results."
"Working in our team is like being part of a creative and collaborative family, where every idea is valued, and together, we turn dreams into reality, one brick at a time. We thrive on play because it fuels innovation, strengthens team bonds, and makes each day more enjoyable and fulfilling.”
