# Nihar Lodaya > Software Engineer @ Retica | Full-Stack Systems • Cloud Infrastructure • Scalable APIs • Team Builder Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/niharlodaya I build software that turns complex tech into real-world impact. From refactoring my first Java loop to shaping cloud architectures during my master’s in computer science at Marist University, I’ve pursued one goal: make code feel like possibility. I recently graduated with a specialization in cloud-based systems, machine learning, and scalable microservice architectures. What I enjoy most: • Building Spring Boot + AWS microservices with smooth CI/CD using Docker and GitLab • Developing machine learning models and deploying them through APIs • Building full-stack web applications with payment and real-time features I thrive in teams that debug first, unit test always, and care about meaningful metrics from backend latency to user satisfaction. Whether fine-tuning an autoscaler, improving code structure, or helping others grow, I’m driven by one idea: technology should solve problems people actually feel. Always happy to connect on backend systems, DevOps automation, or practical ML. Let’s build something meaningful. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Retica Technologies Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States ### Software Engineer Intern @ Marist University Jan 2025 – Present | Poughkeepsie, New York, United States ### System Operations Specialist @ Marist University Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Poughkeepsie, New York, United States ### Software Engineer @ Aurionpro Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science Marist University Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science Mumbai University Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/niharlodaya --- Source: https://flows.cv/niharlodaya JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/niharlodaya/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
