Shivani Sharma
Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in Cloud, DevOps, and MLOps
“Built and productionized a recommendation system from notebook prototype into a low-latency, scalable Cloud Run service using Docker, FastAPI, Terraform, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), and MLOps tooling (Vertex AI, MLflow). Experienced diagnosing real-time workflow issues using structured logging/ELK and GCP metrics, including resolving intermittent 504s by fixing unbounded SQL and adding caching. Also partners with sales/customer teams (Wasabi) to deliver tailored demos, troubleshoot, and drive onboarding/adoption.”
Dwarakesh Rajesh
Intern Robotics/Mechatronics Engineer specializing in automation and ROS2 systems
“Robotics software builder who developed a solo fault-adaptive robotic arm: current-based joint health monitoring feeding an ESP32, ROS 2/MoveIt 2 motion planning that adapts to joint failures, and a custom brute-force IK solver to overcome URDF/MoveIt singularity issues. Also worked on real-time 12-microphone sensor-fusion audio processing for drone navigation, resolving buffer/noise problems with multithreading and chunked sampling; experienced with Webots/CoppeliaSim and learning Isaac Sim.”
Bhakti Patel
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in .NET, Python, and cloud-native systems
“Full-stack engineer who owned an end-to-end production feature for a Piraeus Bank stock exchange module, spanning React/TypeScript, backend services, and cloud operations with Docker + CI/CD, delivering reported 90% faster API responses and improved uptime. Also built a Smartwound research MVP on AWS, creating a Python image-processing/scoring pipeline to ship despite unclear image-analysis specs.”
Tanish Katial
Junior Robotics Engineer specializing in motion planning, controls, and autonomous systems
“Robotics engineer who built an autonomous driving mobile robot software stack at Boston University using ROS on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, integrating LiDAR + stereo vision with YOLOv5 and a probabilistic occupancy grid for planning. Demonstrated real-time systems rigor (multi-rate ROS nodes, 50ms sync, profiling/instrumentation) and optimized YOLOv5 with TensorRT, citing ~30% accuracy improvement; also taught ROS workshops to 50+ students.”
Savya Patel
Junior Mechatronics Engineer specializing in robotics, embedded systems, and mechanical R&D
“Lead hardware/integration engineer on a high-speed autonomous drone for adversarial drone tracking and surveillance, owning the full stack from custom electronics and flight-controller tuning to ROS2 SLAM and GPU-accelerated computer vision. Built a custom USB-based ROS2 LiDAR driver and migrated SLAM from SLAM Toolbox to Google Cartographer, while boosting YOLOv5 tracking from ~2 FPS to ~45 FPS on an NVIDIA Jetson through CUDA/dependency optimization.”

Sai Bandaru
Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in fraud detection and LLM systems
“At FiVerity, built and deployed a production LLM/RAG-based Information Gathering Tool for credit union fraud analysts that generates auditable investigation summaries from verified evidence. Focused on high-stakes constraints—hallucination prevention, cross-entity leakage controls, compliance/PII-safe monitoring, and latency—while also shipping customer-facing agentic workflows using CrewAI and LangGraph in close partnership with fraud and compliance stakeholders.”
Yash Pankhania
Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and data engineering
“AI Engineer Co-Op at Northeastern University who built a production Patient Persona Chat Bot to help nursing students practice clinical interactions, fine-tuning Llama 3 and integrating a LangChain + Pinecone RAG pipeline deployed on Amazon Bedrock. Emphasizes clinical accuracy and reliability with guardrails, retrieval filtering, and continuous evaluation, and also brings strong data engineering/orchestration experience (Airflow, EMR/PySpark, ADF, dbt, Databricks, Snowflake).”
Shivam Lahoti
Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in TypeScript/React and microservices
“Software engineer who built and owned an internal workflow automation + analytics platform end-to-end (TypeScript/React/Node) with a microservices, RabbitMQ-based async architecture. Drove adoption by shipping iterative prototypes and prioritizing reliability/performance (Redis caching, query optimization), delivering ~30–35% latency improvements and ~30–40% reduction in manual operational work.”
Rituraj Navindgikar
Intern Robotics Software Engineer specializing in SLAM, perception, and motion planning
“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building Visual-Inertial SLAM and ROS2 sensor-fusion pipelines for autonomous warehouse forklifts (ArcBest), including rigorous calibration (AprilTags, Allan variance, temporal sync) and recovery features like pose injection. Also implemented RL-based local planning at RollNDrive using Isaac Sim with domain randomization to bridge sim-to-real, improving real-world navigation success back to ~90% after initial deployment.”
