About Sai Lohith Panthangi

I don’t just write code. I engineer systems that scale with intent and perform with precision.I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building cloud-native, high-availability applications that power real-world impact. Currently at Amplify Education, I work at the intersection of full-stack engineering and distributed cloud systems, transforming complex workflows into resilient, measurable platforms used by schools nationwide. My mindset is simple: if it’s not performant, reliable, and intuitive, it’s not production-ready.My career has been shaped by high-impact engineering challenges. At Amplify, I reduced inter-service latency by 19%, improved onboarding throughput by 28%, and optimized large-scale data ingestion under peak traffic. Before that, at Verizon, I built and maintained full-stack systems serving 1M+ users, contributing to 99.9% uptime, fraud-detection microservices, and performance optimizations that improved developer velocity by 40%. I thrive in environments where scale meets ownership and reliability isn’t optional.Beyond production systems, I’m deeply invested in AI-integrated applications and intelligent architectures. I’ve built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that transforms long-form YouTube content into context-aware insights using OpenAI and vector search, and developed AI-driven research models in healthcare prediction and secure IoT encryption systems.Technically, I’m fluent across Java, Spring Boot, Python, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I design RESTful APIs, architect microservices, implement CI/CD pipelines, and optimize distributed systems with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and system design. M.S. Computer Science, George Mason University (Outstanding Academic Achievement Award) AWS Certified Developer AssociateCore strengths: Distributed Systems, High-Availability Backend Services, Cloud-Native Architecture, System Design, Performance Optimization.I’m driven by one core principle: build technology that creates leverage. for users, for teams, and for the systems that power them.Let’s connect. the best systems are built where curiosity meets execution.

Experience

1. Software Engineer

   Amplify

   Sep 2024 — Present · NY, US

   Built scalable full-stack web applications using React.js, TypeScript, Java (Spring Boot), and PostgreSQL to support Amplify’s K–12 education platforms. Delivered responsive, high-performance interfaces and reliable back-end services used by thousands of schools throughout the country. • Enhanced Amplify’s Admin Portal user interface to simplify how school and district administrators manage student rosters, classes, and licenses, reducing manual effort and increasing adoption by non-technical users. • Led migration of mCLASS platform features into the unified Admin Portal, consolidating enrollment, assessment, and reporting systems for literacy tools used by K–6 educators,increasing educator engagement by 25% • Developed district-specific login options allowing tailored SSO configurations (e.g, Google, Clever, ClassLink), improving authentication success rates and reducing support requests from schools. • Utilized AWS services including Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and S3 to design and deploy scalable backend components for district-specific login screens and portal data services. • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and resolve access and licensing issues, utilizing Salesforce case management, Jira workflows, and detailed documentation to improve onboarding efficiency.
