About Riddhi Raina Prasad
Hi, I\'m Riddhi.I am a Software Engineer and current M.S. Computer Science student at New York University, passionate about building secure, scalable, and intelligent systems.Before starting my Master\'s, I spent over three years as a Senior Software Engineer at Optum (UnitedHealth Group). There, I specialized in core platform infrastructure migrating legacy monoliths to distributed cloud architectures, standardizing containerized deployments, and implementing strict data security protocols to handle massive daily transaction volumes safely. I thrive on solving high-impact engineering problems, whether that means untangling performance bottlenecks, designing fault-tolerant backend pipelines, or driving CI/CD automation.Today, my technical focus has expanded to the intersection of scalable software engineering and artificial intelligence. I am deeply interested in how we can build safe, agentic AI systems and real-time security infrastructure. Recently, this passion has led me to engineer award-winning projects like EchoGuard (a real-time AI fraud detection guard) and DocuFlow (an agentic RAG system for automated financial compliance).Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the best architecture diagrams mean nothing without the teams that bring them to life. I believe that strong systems come from strong teams, which is why my engineering philosophy is simple: • Collaboration accelerates delivery. • Transparency builds resilient workflows. • Ownership fosters trust and innovation.I am currently exploring Software Engineering and Machine Learning Engineering opportunities where I can tackle complex system challenges and design with purpose. If you enjoy building environments where great engineering can thrive, I’d love to connect.
