Anirudh Varanasi — Software Engineer
I am a Master of Science in Computer Science candidate at Columbia University, specializing in software systems. With a strong foundation in building scalable, cloud-native systems, I am passionate about creating reliable, high-performance platforms. My experience at Microsoft as a Software Developer allowed me to lead efforts in optimizing backend processes and collaborating across teams to deliver impactful solutions using C#, .NET, Azure and React. During my time at Columbia University, I have worked on several impactful projects, one of which is GitGlance, an open-source recommendation platform that leverages AWS Personalize and Kafka for real-time model training. I designed a stateless architecture utilizing AWS Lambda, S3, API Gateway, and PostgreSQL to ensure scalability and reliability. In addition to this, I developed a Distributed Key-Value Pair Database using the Paxos protocol, which involved implementing consensus, sharding, and replication. These projects have sharpened my skills in Go, Python, React, Docker, and cloud platforms like AWS. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy tackling complex technical challenges, particularly in distributed systems, API design, and cloud architecture. My goal is to develop cutting edge technologies as a backend or full-stack developer.
