About Chandan C.

I am a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys solving real problems with clean, reliable, and thoughtful engineering. I like building systems that are easy to work with, scale well, and make life easier for the people who use them.At Cisco, I work on projects around Agentic AI, where I build:Tools using Python and MCPWorkflows and integrations with LangChain and LangSmithAutomation that helps teams ship features faster and more confidentlyMy focus is on writing solid, maintainable code and building systems that developers can trust.Before Cisco, my work was centered around Ruby on Rails and React, where I built fullstack applications, improved performance, and helped modernize legacy codebases. I have always enjoyed taking older systems, cleaning them up, and making them more stable and easier to extend.What I care about most is -• Building software that actually works in the real world• Keeping systems simple instead of over engineered• Collaborating closely with teams and sharing knowledge• Improving performance and reliability without adding unnecessary complexity• Constantly learning and staying curious about new tools and ideasI am someone who likes to understand the bigger picture, how a system behaves, how people use it, and how to make it better step by step. Whether it\'s backend work, frontend improvements, automation, or new AI tooling, I enjoy projects where I can take ownership and make a meaningful impact.* Skills & ToolsPython · MCP Tools · LangChain · LangSmithRuby on Rails · React.js · API Design · System DesignScalable Architecture · Legacy Modernization · Performance OptimizationAutomation · Testing · Developer Experience · Mentoring
