Sai Akhilesh Gade
@saiakhileshgade
Backend engineer focused on scalable systems and AI, with experience building RAG pipelines and handling 40M+ transactions/day.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend-focused software engineer with experience in Python, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and distributed systems. In my current role, I have worked extensively on infrastructure-oriented technologies such as Elasticsearch, Nomad, and automation tools, which has helped me build a strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance.
Over time, I have realized that my core interest lies in building software systems rather than just maintaining infrastructure. I have hands-on experience developing backend services in Python and have also worked on projects involving machine learning, NLP, and recommender systems.
Currently, I am actively upskilling in areas like Go (for backend systems) and Generative AI, aligning myself with modern industry demands. I am also consistently preparing for software engineering interviews by strengthening my data structures, system design, and problem-solving skills.
I am looking for opportunities in backend or AI-focused roles, preferably in remote-first environments, where I can contribute to building scalable systems while continuing to grow as a software engineer.
