Hi, I’m Santhosh Muthukrishnan, a software engineer with a strong background in building secure, scalable microservices and cloud-based applications. I enjoy blending backend systems with data science approaches to deliver high-impact solutions. I have hands-on experience with Spring Boot, Django, Flask, React, and AWS Lambda, and I love turning complex problems into clean, maintainable code. I’m a collaborative problem-solver who thrives in multi-disciplinary teams, with a track record of delivering results and mentoring others. Currently a Research Assistant at the ADAPT Centre working on multimodal AI for medical diagnosis, I’m excited to apply my skills to challenging industry problems and continue learning.

Work Experience

Research Assistant at ADAPT Centre (Maynooth University)
May 25, 2025 - Present
Conducted research on multimodal Alzheimer's disease diagnosis using AI, combining MRI scans and biomarker data from the ADNI dataset. Built and fine-tuned models (VLMs and traditional models) using Hugging Face pipelines and clinical features for real-world diagnosis and regression tasks. Engineered pre-processing pipelines to convert 3D MRI images into model-compatible formats (slices, projections, videos). Gained hands-on experience with Slurm-based HPC scheduling on GPU-powered HPC systems to train and evaluate large models. Evaluated explainability and performance of several VLMs (Med Gemma, LaVA-Med, Qwen 2.5, etc.). Addressed challenges in handling sparse, incomplete, and asynchronous clinical data, simulating deployment conditions under real-world data constraints.
Software Engineer at CodeMantra
April 20, 2024 - September 22, 2025
Developed and integrated microservices and cloud applications using Spring Boot, Flask, Django, React.js and AWS Lambda; built and maintained scalable APIs and cloud workflows. Optimized high-cost backend tasks, reducing cloud resource usage and cutting operational costs by more than 40%. Deployed containerised applications using Docker and AWS services (e.g., ECS, Lambda, EC2), to streamline release cycles of microservice and cloud applications respectively. Implemented Software Design Principles and Design Patterns to improve quality and upgradability across microservices. Led small teams in full-cycle development, from requirements gathering to deployment and performance optimization. Introduced automation tools and unit testing using Selenium and Cypress, reducing manual work by 30% for clients and improving testing across engineering teams. Wrote detailed documentation for several large and complex backend services, covering internal mechanisms. Conducted regular code reviews and
