About Sai Jayanth Rajamahendram

I build.NET applications and the cloud infrastructure they run on. That combination matters because production systems fail when development and operations are treated as separate problems.At Cognizant I worked on healthcare platforms for Molina Healthcare and owned both sides of that boundary. I redesigned Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines that cut release times by 40%, built automated health monitoring that improved incident response by 25%, and maintained HIPAA-compliant.NET applications across IIS and Azure infrastructure.Currently at Community Dreams Foundation I am building the backend for a digital learning platform using.NET Core and ASP.NET, managing the full deployment pipeline through Azure DevOpsMy stack covers the full picture from application to infrastructure. On the application side I work in.NET Core, C# and REST APIs. On the infrastructure side I use Terraform for IaC, Docker and Kubernetes for containers, Prometheus and Grafana for observability, and Azure DevOps for CI/CD across both AWS and Azure.I am completing my MS in Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology and hold certifications in AWS Cloud Practitioner, Azure Fundamentals and Oracle Cloud Foundations.I am currently looking for opportunities in Cloud Engineering, DevOps or Full-Stack.NET roles, remote or Chicago-based. If you are building systems that need to scale reliably in production, I would be interested in connecting.

1. Software Engineer

   Community Dreams Foundation

   Jul 2025 — Present · US

   Software Engineer at Community Dreams Foundation, building and maintaining the backend infrastructure for a digital learning platform that directly supports course content, user workflows, and third-party platform integrations.What I built and delivered:Designed and developed RESTful APIs from scratch using.NET Core and ASP.NET, following object-oriented design principles and handling the full lifecycle from schema design to production deployment.Built and maintained Angular and React frontend components integrated with backend services, delivering features that directly support learner workflows and platform usability across devices.Optimized SQL Server queries, schemas, and stored procedures that were causing performance bottlenecks, improving platform reliability and response times for users on low-bandwidth connections.Designed and implemented the CI/CD pipeline in Azure DevOps from scratch, replacing a fully manual deployment process and making releases consistent, repeatable, and error-free for the engineering team.Leveraged GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to accelerate development workflows, improve code quality during reviews, and reduce time spent on boilerplate implementation.Used Lovable to prototype and validate UI features rapidly before full implementation, reducing feedback cycles with stakeholders.Collaborated with designers, product stakeholders, and QA to deliver well-tested application features through full sprint cycles with zero critical post-release defects.Stack.NET Core · ASP.NET · C# · Angular · React · TypeScript · Azure DevOps · SQL Server · REST APIs · CI/CD Pipelines · GitHub Copilot · Claude Code · Lovable · AI-Assisted Development · Agile · Scrum
