I’m Mihir Pednekar, a Computer Science graduate (M.S.) and software support engineer focused on building and supporting reliable, production-grade systems. I work across backend services, databases, and networked environments, with experience integrating APIs and supporting mission-critical communications. I also enjoy applied research and AI/ML—recently working on multilingual hate-speech detection and on a MATSim freight simulation project. I bring a practical, troubleshooting mindset from real-world deployments, paired with Python-based data workflows and modern cloud tooling (AWS/Azure).
