About Ritesh Dandge

Most engineers build features. I helped build the infrastructure that makes entire engineering organizations move faster.At Delta Air Lines, I\'m part of the Cloud Centre of Excellence — where my job isn\'t just to write code, but to raise the bar. I\'ve helped to built enterprise AI platforms using AWS Bedrock, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent workflows that cut environment setup time by 85%. I\'ve shipped CDK construct libraries that became organizational standards. I\'ve built MCP servers, Kiro AI agents, and developer tooling that engineers across Delta use every day.My stack: TypeScript, Python, Java · AWS CDK, Lambda, Bedrock · Kubernetes, OpenShift · CI/CD · AI-assisted development with Kiro and Claude Code.I don\'t just keep up with where AI development is going — I\'m helping build it into how a Fortune 200 company ships software. If you\'re building something ambitious in cloud or AI, I\'d love to hear about it. Feel free to reach out.
