Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/akulaggarwal

I'm an AI-first software engineer with 9+ years of experience building and shipping production software — now focused on where agentic AI, product thinking, and strong engineering execution intersect.

At work, I'm implementing the visualization layer for a new AI integration in a customer-facing product — which has pushed me to think beyond UI implementation and into how AI features fit real user workflows, drive adoption, and deliver measurable customer value.

Outside of work, I'm actively building a multi-agent automation system using OpenClaw — architecting a swarm of specialized agents for research, prototyping, and business workflow automation. This has given me deep hands-on experience with LLM orchestration, agent design patterns, prompt engineering, and the practical realities of building with Claude, GPT-4, and modern AI tooling.

My core stack includes Angular, React, TypeScript, and data-heavy UI development. I've led frontend engineering efforts, mentored engineers, contributed to hiring and onboarding, and driven full project lifecycles from early design through delivery. I've also interfaced directly with customers and vendors — translating real-world needs into scalable technical solutions.

I'm drawn to teams building ambitious, high-impact products — especially where AI, strong product thinking, and technical depth all matter.

If that sounds like your team, let's connect.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Broadcom
Jan 2018 – Present | Palo Alto, California, United States
Joined Avi Networks in 2018 · Acquired by VMware (2019) · Acquired by Broadcom (2023)

▸ CURRENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Leading the visualization and user interaction layer for an in-product AI assistant experience (powered by Alan AI) — shaping how users engage with AI-generated insights inside the product.
Leveraging AI-assisted development tools (including Cursor) to accelerate prototyping, debugging, and iteration cycles.
Leading the Pulse UI team across planning, delivery, code quality, and mentorship — owning execution for customer-facing dashboards and analytics workflows.
Partnering with design and backend engineering to drive features from early requirements through implementation, testing, and release.

▸ SELECTED CONTRIBUTIONS
Scaled the frontend team from 4 to 15 engineers through interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and mentorship.
Built an interactive D3.js visualization for log analysis with click, drag, and zoom — improving usability and data exploration for enterprise customers.
Delivered customer-facing features across Angular and AngularJS, including licensing workflows, upgrade flows, templates, and date filtering.
Architected a hybrid Angular/AngularJS migration strategy and Webpack build pipeline, modernizing a legacy codebase without disrupting active development.
Drove NgRx adoption across component, module, and application layers — improving state management and maintainability.
Designed reusable UI component and styling systems using LESS and BEM — improving consistency and accelerating delivery.
Overhauled engineering documentation and onboarding materials — reducing ramp-up time for new developers.
