# Ishita Korde > Software Engineer Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ishitakorde B.S. Computer Science at University of California, Riverside. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ SkyLink Jan 2025 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Software Engineer @ Logical Buildings Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 ### Software Engineer @ Arcadia Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 Software engineer on the internal services team, shipping features across the stack, with a focus on backend. - Led end-to-end feature development and maintenance of the billing system responsible for flagging member accounts for utility bill payments. - Automated several processes using web-hooks and scheduled job that brought manual review times down from 10+ minutes per instance to 1-2 minutes. - Built full-stack features for solar credit application to utility bills, ensuring seamless data retrieval and boosting user trust with mistake-free, on-time payments. Reduced customer support requests significantly. - Successfully performed migrations for a comprehensive data model revamp and to accommodate a expanding customer channels, transited a monolith to React/Typescript frontend, Ruby on Rails backend, GraphQL API achieving total data accuracy using Datadog, GitHub Actions, and AWS - Ensured test driven development practices, efficient GraphQL queries, updated engineering and stakeholder documentation ### Software Engineer @ TouchWood Labs Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 - Conceived, developed 5 applications (drawing app, weather display, etc.) for a wooden display with a touch interface using Raspberry Pi and Python. Completed 25% of features for the 2020 TechCrunch Disrupt demo. - Wrote foundational software architecture for startup with 4 engineers, focusing on best practices such as OOD and test-driven development. Set up Git CI/CD, code review cycles and consistent documentation practices.- ### Software Engineer Intern @ Caltech Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Pasadena, California, United States Developed a Python software that creates a database and searches spectral data for peaks to replace the manual, inconsistent previous method. The pipeline downloads and processes thousands of spectra, fits Gaussians, extrapolates various numerical values for analysis, etc. Findings are accurate within a statistically significant range and may provide insight into galaxy formation. Utilized pandas, numpy, astropy, scipy, etc. Research group: https://sites.astro.caltech.edu/~afaisst/group.htm ### Software Engineer Intern @ NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 In charge of software optimization for an optical toolbox developed at JPL for use on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Researched a solution and developed a dynamically parallel implementation in NVIDIA's CUDA C platform. Wrote C algorithms to multi-thread sub-processes and documented and tested the code. Code achieved a significant speed-up to previous versions. ### Research Assistant @ University of California, Riverside Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 R-LAIR is a lab at UCR using machine learning techniques (Bayesian modeling, Gaussian processes) to model quasar emission. Worked with the team to run data on high performance cluster for testing, searched for better methods to normalize and model data, and created graphs and analytical tools to measure performance. Attended weekly R-LAIR meetings to discuss machine learning or AI papers. ### Tutor @ Code Connects Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 Served as a mentor/tutor for underrepresented elementary or middle school students who have an early passion for coding. Taught basic coding concepts and Python, while spreading awareness of the capacity and beauty of coding doing so by creating practice problems and projects in line with the students interests. ### Mathematics Tutor @ Martin Luther King High School Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | Riverside, California Tutored students in mathematics disciplines such as Calculus, Geometry, and Algebra. Provided practice problems, study tips, and resources to increase the students interest and passion for the subject. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science University of California, Riverside Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ikorde - Website: https://www.ishitakorde.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/ishitakorde JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ishitakorde/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
