# Parth Shah > Senior Backend & Platform Software Engineer at Autodesk Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/parthshah Hello World 👋 I’m Parth — an optimistic realist with a genuine love for learning, building, and exploring new domains. Outside of work, I’m passionate about technology, aviation, personal finance, the outdoors, and travel — interests that keep me curious, grounded, and energized. I’m currently a Senior Software Engineer at Autodesk, where I focus on backend and platform engineering. Over the years, I’ve built and led systems across a wide range of problem spaces, wearing multiple hats along the way — software engineer, technical project lead, and project manager. I enjoy tackling complex problems, collaborating across teams, and turning ambiguity into scalable, reliable systems. Outside of code, I’m a proud aviation nerd ✈️ — an instrument-rated Private Pilot currently working toward my Commercial Single Engine Land certificate. I’m especially excited about opportunities that bring aviation and technology together. Teaching is another big passion of mine. I’ve been teaching Computer Science and STEM since 2015, helping students and professionals build strong fundamentals and real-world confidence in software engineering. If you’re looking to grow your CS or engineering skill set, I’m always happy to help (details here: https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/parths3an). I’m easy to work with, enjoy thoughtful conversations, and believe great results come from strong collaboration and positive energy. The best way to reach me is a message here — looking forward to connecting! ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer Backend @ Autodesk Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area > Designed, built, and maintained highly scalable, highly available platforms, services, and internal tools for Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), supporting 20+ internal and customer-facing applications. > Partnered with Architecture, Infrastructure, and DevOps teams to design and implement Kubernetes-based automation, including custom controllers for application deployment and operations. > Researched, planned, and delivered Kubernetes cluster automation to integrate 3rd-party observability vendors to improve reliability, consistency, and deployment velocity across ACC services. > Built a company-wide Product Planning Tool that streamlined research, implementation, and testing workflows, significantly improving cross-team product development timelines. > Led GDPR compliance and regionalization for 10 ACC services, developing automation that reduced multi-region EU deployment time from 3.5 months to 1 month. > Drove cross-functional quality and reliability initiatives, including an incident detection system that reduced outages by 50%, improving both engineering efficiency and customer experience. > Contributed to strategic planning and technical forums with senior leadership, providing data-driven insights that influenced improvements in product quality, security, and user experience. > Led hiring and onboarding, conducting technical interviews and mentoring engineers and interns.
