Experience

Software Engineer

Nokia · Sunnyvale, CA

Aug 2024 – Present
  • Built a production AI Test Automation platform converting telecom PRDs into executable regression plans using LLMs + hybrid retrieval (FAISS IVF + BM25 + reciprocal rank fusion), serving 4 internal engineering teams.
  • Designed semantic search pipeline over 12K+ internal documents with FAISS HNSW indexing, achieving sub-200ms p95 query latency across the internal corpus.
  • Implemented quality guardrails: hallucination detection via citation verification (95%+ evidence grounding rate), coverage scoring against PRD requirements, and automatic regression flagging.
  • Built LLM-powered diagnostics UI + FastAPI backend for root cause analysis, surfacing regression insights and generating vendor-specific CLI commands for Nokia SR OS and third-party platforms.
  • Deployed services with FastAPI, Docker, and Kubernetes; CI/CD via GitHub Actions with 98%+ pipeline pass rate across 3 environments.
  • Created ATS Intelligence: real-time anomaly detection engine for 5G test logs using statistical baselines + z-score detection over 500K+ daily log events.
  • Built log ingestion, scoring, and summarization pipelines producing actionable diagnostics for SRE teams, reducing mean-time-to-identify from ~45 min to ~12 min.

Software Engineer

Rochester Institute of Technology · Rochester, NY

Jan 2023 – Aug 2024
  • Built a search-driven Transfer Credit Equivalency platform using Apache Solr, Node/Express, GraphQL, and React, serving 15K+ student queries per semester.
  • Designed and deployed REST + GraphQL APIs with optimized Solr indexing and query pipelines, improving search relevance by 30% (measured via NDCG@10).
  • Developed campus eServices web applications (Angular, React, Java, PHP) with SSO auth integration, used by 20K+ students and staff.
  • Integrated AWS Lambda, S3, and Cognito for event-driven document processing workflows, handling 8K+ document uploads per month.
  • Shipped 12 production features end-to-end across 3 release cycles, from UI to API to data layer to deployment.

Software Engineer

Ericsson · Bangalore, India

Feb 2022 – Aug 2022
  • Engineered high-throughput backend services in C++ and Python for LTE/NR telecom protocol stacks, reducing packet processing latency by 20% (measured via internal perf benchmarks).
  • Designed telemetry pipelines and internal service APIs supporting real-time KPI monitoring for 3GPP L2/L3 layers across 50+ base station configurations.
  • Built CI/CD automation with Jenkins and Ansible, cutting release cycles from 4 days to 3 days (25% reduction) and achieving 99.2% deployment success rate.
  • Collaborated on fault tolerance and network topology orchestration for distributed RAN systems spanning multi-vendor environments.
