About Pavan Polagani

Entry-level Software Engineer with hands-on experience contributing to backend systems and quality-driven development in production environments. My work has focused on implementing backend features, validating system behavior, and supporting releases, giving me a strong understanding of how applications are built, tested, and maintained end-to-end-> I’ve worked primarily with Python, SQL, and REST APIs, contributing to backend logic, data validation, and reliability improvements across multiple workflows. In addition to development tasks, I’ve performed API, integration, and backend testing to verify business logic, identify edge cases, and reduce downstream production issues-> I’ve collaborated closely with engineering and QA teams in Agile environments, supported application releases by validating runtime behavior and assisting with post-deployment issue resolution. I’m comfortable working across codebases, test layers, and deployment workflows, and I place a strong emphasis on writing maintainable code and building systems that behave predictably under real-world conditions-> Authorized to work in the U.S. on F-1 OPT.
