Spoorti Patil

I’m a recent Information Science graduate with a Software Developer internship at Barracuda Networks, where I strengthened API discovery and security coverage through “200+ API traffic scenarios.” I care about building secure, user-focused software with reliable backend behavior.

During my internship, I implemented Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in the WAF Admin Access module, reducing configuration errors by 15%, and added server-side pagination to optimize performance for large tables. I also built backend validation and duplicate-detection logic to protect data integrity, and contributed to UI code reviews using JIRA and Confluence in an Agile environment.

I back my engineering work with hands-on projects: I built a Python-based online price comparison system using automated scraping, normalization pipelines, and fuzzy matching for accurate cross-site comparisons. I also created a fully offline RAG AI agent with LangChain, ChromaDB, and Ollama (LLaMA 3.2), engineering semantic search and grounding responses in top-5 retrieved review contexts to reduce hallucination.
