Hi everyone, and welcome to my first post on DEV! 👋
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.
What I plan to write about
Here are some of the topics I'd love to share as I go:
- Building reliable data pipelines and ETL workflows
- Backend and API design lessons learned the hard way
- Practical AI engineering: LLM integrations, RAG, and agents
- Cloud infrastructure tips on AWS
Say hi!
I'm a big believer in learning in public, so I'd love to connect with others who are building in these spaces. If you're working on something in backend, data, or AI, drop a comment, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
Thanks for reading, and see you in the next post! 🚀
