Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in systems, data, and full-stack development

Hyderabad, India1y exp

“Built a production-style hackathon prototype for analyzing healthcare facility data and identifying medical deserts via natural-language queries. Stands out for a pragmatic applied-AI approach: separating retrieval from LLM reasoning, using structured JSON outputs, and designing fallbacks and data-quality checks to keep recommendations grounded and reliable.”

“Built SparkyAI, a gamified college-essay writing assistant (hackathon project at ASU in 2025) using React/styled-components, Firebase (OAuth/DB), and OpenAI APIs, with concrete scalability and performance measures like rate limiting, indexed queries, code splitting, and conversation caching. Also designed a global low-latency voice-to-LLM architecture leveraging WebRTC, regional containerized services, global load balancing, streaming STT/TTS, and end-to-end encryption with minimal logging.”

“Engineering leader who modernized infrastructure by migrating a ~100-server co-location setup to AWS/GCP with IaC, auto-scaling, and fault-tolerant design, reducing hardware upgrade burden. Also led a key analytics architecture shift from MySQL to ClickHouse to enable highly granular ad revenue attribution and profitability insights, while scaling the dev org from 2–3 to ~12 with stronger CI/testing and review processes.”

“QA automation engineer with hands-on ownership of both UI and API test automation, including building an API test module from scratch to validate all Swagger-exposed endpoints with positive/negative coverage and pairwise optimization. Experienced stabilizing flaky Cypress tests through improved selectors (data-cy) and API-call synchronization, and integrating tiered test suites into GitLab CI with merge/release gates plus JUnit/HTML reporting and Slack notifications.”
