About Kiran P.

I build the software that bridges the digital and physical worlds.With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in architecting and developing scalable, robust software for robotics, computer vision, and data-intensive systems. My work spans the full stack of physical-world software — from automating robotic testbeds for next-gen VR hardware at Meta, to leading a team building software platforms for semiconductor manufacturing automation at Lam Research.I thrive on end-to-end ownership: system design, low-level hardware integration, cloud-based data pipelines, and the DevOps and tooling that keep teams shipping. I believe in a data-driven approach to problem-solving and enjoy building the systems and workflows that make engineering teams more effective.Always looking to connect with people working on challenging problems in robotics, applied AI, and large-scale infrastructure.

Experience

1. Lead Software Engineer

   Lam Research

   Feb 2025 — Present · Fremont, CA, US

   Leading a 8-person engineering team building software platforms for semiconductor manufacturing automation- Architected the backend API for a Recipe Optimization tool in Python/Flask, solving deployment constraints for air-gapped manufacturing environments by packaging as a standalone executable serving 200+ semiconductor tools- Consulted the microservices migration of a health analytics platform processing robotic wafer-handler telemetry, decomposing a monolithic notebook system into 5 independently deployable services and reducing the team\'s feature delivery cycle from weeks to days- Built domain-specific engineering knowledge bases and automated code review, testing, and bug triage workflows, enabling one engineer to effectively own TPM, DevOps, and backend functions across a 6-person team- Standardized deployment automation across 8+ services in the team\'s portfolio, reducing manual release steps by ~70% and cutting average deployment time from hours to minutes.
