About Raghavendra Prasath S.

I’m a Software and Data Engineer with experience building scalable backend systems and data pipelines, now focusing on Applied AI and intelligent systems. Most recently, I worked as a Software Engineer Co-op at Fidelity Investments, where I built backend automation systems supporting enterprise financial workflows and digital transformation initiatives. My work focused on developing scalable applications, improving operational efficiency, and enabling data-driven decision making. Prior to that, at Cognizant, I worked as a Data Engineer, designing ETL pipelines and leading cloud migrations using AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, RDS). I improved data processing performance, reduced costs, and enabled scalable data infrastructure across systems. I’m currently pursuing a MS in Information Systems at Northeastern University, where I’ve built strong foundations in data systems, algorithms, and applied analytics through coursework in Big Data Systems, Data Science Engineering, Database Design, and Algorithms. My recent work focuses on building intelligent systems that combine data engineering with AI, including: • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and hybrid search systems • LLM-based applications and NLP pipelines • FastAPI-based backend systems for production-grade AI workflows • AI-driven decision systems incorporating reliability, confidence, and risk modeling I’m particularly interested in designing systems that are scalable, explainable, and production-ready—bridging data engineering, AI, and backend systems. I’m actively seeking opportunities as:Data Engineer | Software Engineer | Applied AI EngineerI’m currently authorized to work in the U.S. and will be on STEM OPT (up to 3 years), with no immediate sponsorship required.
