@selvaprasad
Development manager and software architect delivering AI and cloud platforms with Agile leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Development Manager and software architect with 22+ years of industry experience, specializing in Software Development, DevOps, ProdOps, and end-to-end delivery. I combine deep technical proficiency (Python, Java, AWS, Low-Code) with Agile methods to produce high-quality deliverables.
I’ve architected and delivered enterprise and research-grade solutions, including an AI-powered CFD application that reduced scientific research time from days to hours while cutting operational costs. I’ve also automated NIH-style Grants processing management systems, accelerating funding workflows for life-saving medical research.
On the product and platform side, I spearheaded Agile Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platforms and revamped legacy architectures into extensible, API-backed Angular UIs. I’ve led teams through Scrum ceremonies, focused on code quality via peer reviews, and helped drive production reliability through monitoring and custom alerting.
As a manager, I defined and enforced SDLC processes, mentored team members for strict process adherence, and coordinated tightly across Product Management, QA, and DevOps. I’m energized by cross-functional, global delivery—especially when solving hard problems involving cloud infrastructure, intelligent systems, and measurable customer outcomes.
