Software Development Engineer

  • Duration: Aug 2020 - Dec 2022
  • Developed, designed, and maintained Assess services, an online drone imagery tool for property assessment.
  • Implemented scalable Go Rest and GRPC microservices for handling geospatial data, images, and large binary data with authentication and access control.
  • Achieved a 50% reduction in latency by implementing GRPC stream APIs for large binary data transfers, conducted load testing, identified critical bugs, and performed fixes.
  • Integrated AWS Batch processes, reducing container load by 15% and significantly cutting AWS costs. Acquired proficiency in C# and delivered critical release APIs within a week.
  • Designed and modeled an event-based internal notification platform utilizing AWS SNS and SQS, capable of handling over 1000 requests concurrently.
  • Pioneered a serverless service orchestrator, replacing outdated technology with AWS Step Functions and Lambda, resulting in a 60% cycle time reduction.
  • Translated critical code from MATLAB to Python, increasing scalability and reducing latency by more than 60%.
  • Orchestrated cross-functional teams to establish standard interface models and proposed OpenTelemetry integration for serverless architecture tracing.

Software Development Engineer Intern

  • Duration: Jan 2020 – July 2020
  • Programmed scalable Go microservices, improved API documentation for resource onboarding, and proposed ELK stack integration for enhanced system tracing.
  • Initiated a side project to prototype a Deployment Dashboard, leveraging Jenkins, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AWS S3 to monitor multi-environment deployments.

Projects

Human Following Robot

  • Developed a human-following capability for a holonomic robot equipped with an RGB-D camera using YOLO-v7, SuperPoint, and a PID controller.

Quote Classification and Interpretation

  • Fine-tuned Transformer models like BERT, GPT-2, and T5 for multi-label classification of quotes. Experimented with various prompting techniques on T5 and Gemma models for the quote interpretation task and analyzed the results.

Stock Exchange Application

  • Prototyped a simple stock trading application in Python to test distributed systems concepts like multithreading and leader elections.

Optimizing Machine Learning Models for Predictive Analysis

  • Developed and implemented custom machine learning models—Neural Networks, Random Forests, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)—for complex data analysis tasks.
  • Leveraged hyper-parameter tuning and optimization techniques to maximize model performance, creating F1 Score graphs for data-driven decisions.

Skills

  • Programming: Golang, Python, SQL
  • Software: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Jira, Confluence, Postman, Git, Postgres, DynamoDB
