About Niharika Sathyanarayana

I am a Software Engineer with a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder, with hands-on experience building scalable backend systems, cloud services, and ML-powered applications.At Virufy, I design and deploy production-ready Python backend and AI services using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS focusing on API performance, reliable deployments, and integrating LLM-driven workflows into real products. Previously, as a Research Assistant at CU Boulder’s HIRO Lab, I worked on GPU-optimized deep learning models for robotics perception, improving real-time performance on low-resource systems.My experience also includes internships at Rakuten and DRDO, where I built and maintained full-stack applications, CI/CD pipelines, and secure data platforms. My projects span big data pipelines, recommendation systems, NLP models, and ML-driven analytics, including systems processing high-throughput data with low latency.Alongside industry work, I’ve published deep learning research, and served as a Teaching Assistant at CU Boulder, mentoring students in C++ and core software engineering concepts.Tech Stack: Python, C++, Java, TypeScript, FastAPI, React, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Spark, PyTorch, TensorFlow
