Ankush R. — Software Engineer
I’m a Software Development Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack engineering, generative AI, and cloud platforms (AWS & Azure). Currently at Kickdrum, I design and deliver scalable, intelligent systems that combine deep technical problem-solving with a focus on real-world impact. My experience spans building AI-powered workflows with LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, and LLMs to transform hiring processes, developing cloud-agnostic infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, Kubernetes, and ArgoCD, and optimizing backend services that scale seamlessly on AWS and Azure. I also enjoy creating full-stack applications with Java, Spring Boot, GraphQL,PHP CodeIgniter, React, Redux, and TypeScript ensuring performance, usability, and reliability go hand-in-hand. I’m passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of software development, AI, and cloud engineering, and I’m always open to opportunities where I can build systems that make a meaningful difference. I believe technology should be both powerful and responsible. From embedding explainability and bias-mitigation into AI models to modernizing legacy systems for global adoption, I strive to build solutions that are transparent, inclusive, and built for scale. Recognized among the Top-6 at Kickdrum’s CodeXcelerator.AI hackathon, I bring not only technical depth but also collaboration and leadership experience including representing 40,000+ students as Executive Student Leader at VIT, where I graduated with a 9.5 CGPA and earned multiple merit scholarships.
