# Dibyanshu Patnaik > Software Engineer | Data Engineer | LLMs | Carnegie Mellon University Graduate Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dibyanshu As a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University's Master of Information Systems Management program, I bring a robust blend of technical expertise and hands-on experience in data engineering, data science, and the latest in AI technologies. With a strong foundation from my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from NMIMS University and professional experience at ZS Associates, I have excelled in transforming analytical landscapes and building scalable data solutions in high-stakes environments. At ZS Associates, I led the development of data pipelines and analytical solutions that dramatically improved data coherence and provided greater visibility of key business metrics to senior management. My work in automating data processes reduced manual effort by over 95%, ensuring accuracy and speed in project delivery. My experience at Allegheny County Office of Analytics led me to creating a python package that reduced the time taken to build a Machine Learning workflow by 20x - enabling analysts to collect features, perform EDA, apply predictive modeling techniques, and QC the model within minutes instead of days. Currently, I'm engaged in a capstone project at US Bank, leveraging RAG-enabled LLMs to enhance wealth management services, showcasing my commitment to applying cutting-edge technology to solve real-world problems. I am proficient in a wide range of languages and technologies, including Python, SQL, AWS, and Spark, and have contributed to diverse projects from developing API-driven CRM tools to implementing advanced machine learning models for social impact. As I approach graduation in May 2024, I am eager to bring my analytical skills, innovative mindset, and leadership capabilities to an organization that champions technological advancement and data-driven decision making. I would be happy to connect, and to explore how I can contribute to your team with impactful solutions that drive business success. ## Work Experience ### Forward Deployed Software Engineer @ Salient Jan 2026 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Backend Engineer - App Development @ Allegheny County Department of Human Services Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Building extendable, modular backend systems to power future-ready apps and drive digital transformation. ### Data Science Intern @ Allegheny County Department of Human Services Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Worked in the Office of Analytics, Technology, and Planning - Built python packages and machine learning models to reduce the time to predict real world outcomes for vulnerable populations - achieving a 20x reduction in the data extraction and processing time of the ML pipeline. ### Software Engineer @ UniAcco Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Mumbai Worked on improving the codebase for the internal CRM tool. - Reduced the page load times by 30-70% by optimizing the database queries generated by Django ORM. - Built a dashboard using React and Django to track key sales conversion metrics. ### Senior Associate - Business Technology Solutions @ ZS Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 Working on big data technologies as an Analytical Engineer to solve ETL and Data Warehousing challenges in the pharmaceutical domain. - Led the development and operationalization of multiple end-to-end data transformation pipelines for downstream analytical use cases (BI dashboards and predictive modelling). - Spearheaded client discussions and drove user adoption of deployed analytical solutions. - Built a Master Data Management (MDM) solution using fuzzy matching logic to reduce redundant data records by 40%. - Created automation scripts related to QC checks, data migration, and database sanitation on AWS Redshift and EMR to reduce manual efforts from 4 hours to 4 minutes. ### Junior Machine Learning Engineer @ Omdena Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 Built a process to determine the economic activities supported by an endangered species using Machine Learning.
