Pranav Raveendran — Operations Associate
I am a dedicated Software Engineering student at the University of Maryland, College Park, with a robust background in full-stack development and a strong commitment to driving technical excellence. My proactive and results-driven approach has led to a proven track record of leading successful projects at PayPal and Amazon, where I significantly improved system performance and user experience through expertise in UI development, data migration, API security, and cloud technologies. I am highly proficient in Java, JavaScript, Python, C++, C, and TypeScript, with hands-on experience in cutting-edge frameworks such as React.js, Spring Boot, and Node.js. My technical skills extend to REST APIs, Docker, and data tools like Cassandra, Spark, Elasticsearch, and Kafka. Additionally, I have substantial experience with AWS, utilizing services such as AWS Lambda to enhance system performance and scalability. I am also experienced with tools and methodologies such as GitHub, Jenkins, Gradle, Webpack, Jira, Cypress, Selenium, CI/CD, Kanban, and Test-Driven Development (TDD). My academic journey includes an M.Engg in Software Engineering from the University of Maryland (expected May 2026) and a B.E in Computer Science and Engineering from SSN College of Engineering, Chennai, India. During my tenure at PayPal, I strengthened API security, developed tools for notification tracking and migration, and modernized legacy notification infrastructure, among other achievements. At Amazon, I developed and architected the backend for a cutting-edge website for the Amazon Devices Demand Planning Engineering team. I utilized AWS Lambda to enhance system performance and scalability, reducing the P99 response time from 20 seconds to just 3 seconds, significantly improving user experience. This also decreased engineering support needs, leading to increased team productivity. I have also led and contributed to various projects, including developing a model for predicting FDA drug approval, simulating optimal drone paths, creating a secure web app for agricultural transactions, and developing a smart attendance system using Beacons and Deep Learning. I am currently actively seeking a full-time Software Engineering position starting in May 2026 to leverage my skills in driving impactful projects within a forward-thinking tech environment. Let's connect and explore how I can contribute to your team!
