# Likhitha I. > Senior Software Engineer | Building Reliable Backend Systems in Python, Go & AWS | Distributed Systems | Payments & AI Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/likhithai "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." – Steve Jobs I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience building secure, scalable systems across the full stack. At my current company, I’ve delivered projects such as a real-time customer pipeline in Python, Kafka, and AWS that cut outreach delays from hours to minutes, a PCI-compliant checkout system with CyberSource, integrated with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and a serverless pricing engine built with Python, Pulumi, ECS Fargate, and Athena that transformed hours of manual work into minutes. Alongside backend and infrastructure, I’ve built internal-facing React and Streamlit dashboards that give non-technical teams visibility and control over business-critical workflows. My core toolkit includes Python, Java, Go, Spring Boot, React, Angular, Kafka, AWS (ECS Fargate, Lambda, S3, Athena), Docker, and Pulumi, with hands-on experience deploying secure APIs, building data pipelines, and automating infrastructure. I thrive in environments where I can own systems end to end and measure success by how much customers and colleagues rely on the products I build. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ BKV Corporation Jan 2024 – Present ### Software Engineer @ Verizon Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Sunnyvale, CA ### Software Engineer @ Virtusa Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 ### Associate Software Engineer @ EDGEROCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science The University of Texas at Arlington ### Bachelor of Technology - BTech JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/likhitha21 --- Source: https://flows.cv/likhithai JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/likhithai/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
