About Pathlavath Madhu

I\'m a Junior Software Engineer at Cornerstone OnDemand, working on cloud-native backend systems and AI-powered applications.My background sits across two areas — backend engineering (microservices, ASP.NET Core, AWS, Docker) and AI/ML (RAG pipelines, LLMs, Vector Databases, deep learning). I like building things that actually ship and scale.Some work I\'m proud of:• Proposed and built an automation toolkit from scratch — now used across the entire organization• Grew test coverage from 6% to 88%+ across multiple microservices• Published ML research on a multi-disease prediction system (98% accuracy) in IJIRMF• Interned at building a Speech Emotion Recognition model (87.52% accuracy)Open to conversations around AI engineering, backend systems, and anything in between.
