I’m Sridhar Vaggu, a software engineer with 5+ years of experience building high-concurrency microservices and full-stack applications. I’ve architected systems that handle large transaction volumes and real-time workflows, from inventory and auction/bidding platforms to responsive dashboards and robust event-driven backends. I also enjoy working at the intersection of engineering and AI—integrating OpenAI and building RAG pipelines with tools like LangChain and pgvector—so products can deliver faster, more relevant, and personalized experiences. Alongside development, I’ve supported production reliability through cloud and container orchestration on AWS EKS/Kubernetes, strong database tuning, and practical monitoring for performance and model quality.
