Aditya Sawant

Screened

Mid-level Software Development Engineer specializing in robotics and cloud-based device management

North Reading, Massachusetts3y exp

“Amazon Robotics engineer who deployed and scaled the Lumos camera-based package scanning work cell across EU sort centers (100+ work cells in 5+ sites), enabling remote launches via detailed runbooks and troubleshooting. Strong in AWS IoT/edge systems, with hands-on incident recovery (restored 34 down work cells) and secure multi-compute certificate provisioning using IoT Jobs, ACM/CA, and custom roles; delivered ~75% per-cell cost reduction vs Cognex-based approach.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and AI

Boston, MA4y exp

“Founding/early backend engineer at ATICA Global who built the company's core hotel property management platform from an empty repo into a production system used by 500+ hotel clients. Combines strong backend architecture with pragmatic product execution, including a dynamic pricing engine that increased partner revenue 17% YoY and an AI-powered sentiment pipeline processing 200K+ reviews/month.”

Jainum Sanghavi

Screened

Mid-level DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud automation and Kubernetes platforms

Boston, MA2y exp

“Robotics/ML engineer who has built SO(3)-equivariant models for robotic manipulation, including custom equivariant layers and differentiable point-cloud rasterization/derasterization workflows. Also brings 2 years of DevOps experience in banking systems, automating CI/CD and infrastructure at scale (managed 180 OCI servers; reduced rebuild downtime by 80%).”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience building a distributed ticketing system on AWS (Terraform, Go, MySQL) focused on high-concurrency reliability (locks/queues to prevent duplicate ticket confirmations) and load-tested performance. Also independently owned and shipped an Airflow automation script to stop/restart workflows during deployments with email notifications, reducing manual operational effort.”

“Built and deployed an Azure-based, fine-tuned CLIP visual retrieval system at Staples for a ~300k-item product catalog, improving edge-case recall by 12% by engineering a custom delta-similarity/dynamic-margin loss. Also has robotics experience using ROS2 for sensor/compute orchestration, including GPS-time-synchronized sensor triggering for robot swarms and latency-bounded optical-flow benchmarking for edge deployment.”

“Former Head of Growth & Strategy at a digital identity company (pre-MBA in Boston) who ran multiple cross-functional initiatives across sales, product, and finance. Delivered measurable outcomes including raising sales conversion from 70% to 83% in 30 days, achieving 17% profitability via a new pricing model, and launching a new onboarding platform GTM on time.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS2 autonomy, with hands-on work building a monocular visual odometry system on KITTI (including GPS-based scale correction and RViz trajectory visualization) and an end-to-end Gazebo simulation integrating URDF, slam_toolbox, and Nav2. Demonstrates strong practical debugging skills around TF frames, lifecycle nodes, and Gazebo plugin/version compatibility.”
