Rishyanth Kondra

I am a Senior Software Engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and a passion for building innovative solutions. I graduated with honors in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, where I also served as a teaching assistant for Calculus I. My professional journey began as a Software Engineer at Eightfold, where I quickly rose through the ranks to become a Senior Software Engineer, leading the development of Career Navigator, an AI-driven tool for personalized career path recommendations.

In my current role, I have spearheaded the development of a quantitative evaluation framework that improved recommendation diversity by 3x and relevance by 28%. I also conceptualized the Connect and Grow copilot, an AI tool for networking and mentor matching, which earned the TM-Polish award for innovation. My technical expertise spans software design, recommender systems, AWS, Python, and React, with a strong focus on optimizing system performance and user experience.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to innovation and excellence, earning multiple awards for impactful ideas and exceptional performance. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and am dedicated to mentoring junior developers to ensure high-quality software delivery.
