# Chandan Nagaraj Naik > Senior Software Engineer | 3D | Full Stack | AI/ML Location: Santa Clara, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/chandannagarajnaik Software Engineer at Autodesk Forma working on the development of a cloud based AI software for early stage architectural planning and analysis. I hold a Computer Science Master's degree from the University of Colorado Boulder. My fields of interest include building 3D scalable systems, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Data Visualization. I have Full Stack development experience in C++, C#, JavaScript, Typescript, React, Python, Django, Microservices, SQL, Distributed Architecture, and System Design. When I'm not writing code I mostly love to hike, backpack, create digital art, play badminton, or work on my Ukulele skill. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Autodesk Jan 2021 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States • Architected a serverless AWS Lambda pipeline to process large-scale environmental simulations (noise, wind) at 500 GB/hour, coordinating image resampling, ray tracing, and rasterization across high-density 0.5 km × 0.5 km urban zones. • Designed a payload compression and data-structuring strategy (RLE) that reduced payload size by 85% and improved end-to-end response time by 36%, enabling scalable city-scale visualization. • Built unified orbit and zoom camera controls across multiple 3D modes using Three.js, applying linear algebra to compute dynamic camera targets for seamless navigation of large urban models. • Migrated core 3D sketching and modeling tools from desktop to a cloud-native architecture using React, TypeScript, and WebAssembly (WASM). • Developed real-time façade visualization and terrain texture mapping using Three.js and WebGL, enabling interactive exploration of environmental data. • Built an entourage visualization system using ArchVision RPC, supporting placement of high-fidelity GLB assets directly in web-based 3D scenes. • Integrated AI-driven visualization APIs and React components to deliver real-time, ML-enhanced 3D rendering previews in the browser. • Prototyped a CAD-to-Unity interoperability pipeline for rendering FormIt geometry as Unity game objects; awarded “Best Recharge Sprint Project.” • Optimized build performance using CMake selective imports, reducing dependency downloads by 30% and build times by 20–30%. • Automated NuGet package generation via Jenkins, cutting production build times by 30%. ### Founding Software Engineer @ Microgrid Labs Inc Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Boulder, Colorado, United States Development: • Orchestrated the full-lifecycle development of a multi-tenant SaaS platform from UI prototyping to back-end development • Developed and deployed low latency (<50 ms) APIs for the SaaS platform • Developed a statistical model for Public Transportation Electrification directly responsible for attracting more customers to the business [ENEL], thereby adding new revenue to the company UI/UX: • Developed the first iteration of the mockups for the SaaS platform from scratch using Figma • Conducted user experience research with real customers which helped in fine-tuning the prototypes Product Owner: • Defined and prioritized backlogs and sprints for the SaaS platform development • Identified and categorized the feature of the SaaS platform in different tiers • Came up with the pricing model for the different tiers of the SaaS platform ### Teaching Assistant @ University of Colorado Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 Teaching assistant for CSCI 3002 - Fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction. Teaching various aspects and techniques of user-centered design, and the development of interactive technologies. ### Teaching Assistant @ University of Colorado Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 Teaching assistant for CSCI 1300 - Starting Computing. Teaching techniques for writing computer programs in higher level programming languages to solve problems of interest in a range of application domains. ### Software Development Intern @ Autodesk Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Boulder, CO Worked on the implementation of data collection from FormIt and Revit Add-In which can later be used to analyze the product. • Performed application analytics for both FormIt and Revit Add on using Google Analytics by tracking user activity on the application. • Setup tracking for all the features in Revit Add on Google Analytics using measurement protocol. • Verified and set up tracking for 500 odd features of FormIt. • Built data collection model for Revit Add-on and FormIt 360. Coded, tested and deployed the data collection model into production through a CI-CD configured infrastructure. • The development was done using C++ and C# in an Agile environment and Git was used for version control. ### Teaching Assistant @ University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | United States Worked as a Teaching Assistant under Dr. Albert Timothy Chamillard. Trained 55 students about game development using C# and unity. ### Software Engineer @ Scientific Games Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 | Bengaluru Area, India • Worked across the stack in building a web application that helped casinos keep track of players and assets • Developed APIs that reduced the data flow (across the system) latency by 20% • Wrote SQL stored procedures that increased data retrieval from the database by 2X • Redesigned the monolithic architecture to data-driven CRUD microservices architecture • Demonstrated coding proficiency in C# and JavaScript by improving application performance. Also increased the test coverage from 16% to 65%. • Skills developed/utilized: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, .NET, MVC, Microsoft SQL Server, Agile software development was followed, Perforce and JIRA was used for version controlling and bug reporting. ## Education ### Master's degree in Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder ### Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology B.
