Hi everyone, and welcome to my first post on DEV! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Sai, a Software Engineer and Data Engineer based in Florida. I recently finished my MS in Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University, and these days I spend most of my time building backend services, data pipelines, and AI-powered systems.

A bit about what I do

My day-to-day work lives mostly in the backend and cloud world. I enjoy designing scalable REST APIs, building and optimizing data pipelines, and wiring up cloud infrastructure on AWS. My main tools are Python, Node.js, and a growing collection of AWS services (Lambda, S3, Glue, API Gateway, and friends).

More recently I've been going deep on AI engineering: LLM workflows, RAG, evaluations, and autonomous agents. I'm also a co-founder of Trenith, a remote-first software and AI engineering studio, where a lot of these ideas get to meet real production systems.
