About Varun Ruddaraju

I’m a recent Computer Science graduate from the University of California, Irvine and current Software Engineer specializing in cloud engineering, backend development, and applied machine learning. At Infinite Options, I design and deploy scalable cloud-based services using AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines that keep applications reliable and production-ready.My background bridges backend engineering with ML research and deployment — from building Flask/FastAPI microservices and SQL-backed systems, to training and integrating PyTorch-based NLP models into real-world applications. I thrive in projects that combine infrastructure automation, data-driven insights, and ML-powered features.I’m actively seeking opportunities where I can scale intelligent cloud applications, optimize backend systems, and collaborate on machine learning-driven solutions that solve real business problems.
