Saksham Jairath — Software Engineer
Hey! I’m Saksham Jairath, a senior Computer Engineering student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Business Minor, Data Science Certification), graduating in May 2026. I’m seeking full-time Software Engineering roles for 2026. As an Android Software Engineer Intern at WhatsApp (Meta), I engineered high-performance, privacy-preserving real-time presence systems for the calling platform — integrating Kotlin concurrency primitives, distributed backend services, and dynamic UI flows. I implemented features like contact profile rendering on tap and participant mute orchestration with robust business logic, backed by test coverage. I also led Java-to-Kotlin migrations to improve modularity, accessibility, and multilingual support. Previously, as a Software Developer Intern at Crowe LLP, I improved backend scalability and reliability in Microsoft Dynamics 365 by optimizing performance and debugging production-critical issues. I developed a client-facing Accounts Payable and expense management platform in X++, C#, and SQL — implementing workflow orchestration, transactional data integrity, audit trails, and real-time financial reporting pipelines. On campus, I serve as Software Chair for the Illinois Consulting Group, delivering responsive, SEO-optimized web solutions for energy-sector clients, and as Technical Coordinator for IEEE-UIUC, leading AI/UX workshops and embedding industry best practices into our engineering projects. I’m passionate about building scalable, user-centric, and automation-driven systems that bridge deep technical complexity with practical, high-impact solutions.
