# Arjun Lahiri > Software engineer at DigitalOcean - Copilots team Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/arjunlahiri Programming my first robot for a First Lego League competition was more than a mere foray into technology—it was the genesis of a lifelong enchantment with the possibilities of automation. Those formative moments, commanding a simple robot through its paces, subtly sowed the seeds of my future passion for artificial intelligence—a field that, at the time, seemed an esoteric niche. As I ventured deeper into academia, what was once a latent curiosity blossomed into a profound pursuit. My intellectual journey was marked by pivotal courses in data science and AI, which crystallized my fascination and understanding of this complex field. By my senior year, I was fully immersed in the intricacies of AI and big data systems through both introductory and advanced courses. Professionally, my journey continued to evolve. At Vianai Systems, I was instrumental in developing ML pipelines, which deepened my expertise in crafting robust AI applications. Subsequently, at Hila Enterprise, I tackled sophisticated challenges on a QA platform that processes complex datasets across financial, medical, and legal domains. Here, I refined techniques to ensure the precision and dependability of AI through anti-hallucination and retrieval-augmented generation systems. These experiences have not only honed my technical acumen but also deepened my appreciation for AI's transformative power. As AI transitions from an arcane specialty to a cornerstone of contemporary industry, my commitment to this dynamic field grows. I am eager to contribute to its evolution, ensuring that it remains a benevolent and transformative force in our society. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ DigitalOcean Jan 2024 – Present | Manhattan, New York, United States Copilots Team ### Software Engineer @ rule5 Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | United States ### Software Engineer @ Vianai Systems, Inc.
