# Piyush Saini > Software Engineer – AI & Full-Stack Systems Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/piyushsaini 🚀 I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable, high-reliability systems in financial services. I specialize in backend and full-stack development using Java/Spring Boot, React, distributed microservices, and production-grade CI/CD. At UBS, I’ve modernized a mission-critical derivatives trading platform by migrating legacy systems to Spring Boot + React, improving security posture, and delivering workflows used by traders and sales teams daily. I’ve worked in environments where correctness, stability, and fast incident response matter — and where production issues directly impact business operations. I’ve led end-to-end delivery across multiple projects, including: * Legacy modernization and security remediation (Struts → React + Spring Boot) * Real-time systems and integrations across multiple services * Building internal tools that scaled across 6+ applications and hundreds of users Outside work, I build full-stack products focused on automation and developer productivity, including: ⚡ Instantrix.com – AI-powered short-form content generation using React, Node.js, FFmpeg, and LLM APIs 📚 algoyogi.io – A coding prep platform with structured problem tracking, content creation, and tooling I enjoy working on complex systems with real-world impact — especially where strong engineering fundamentals, reliability, and thoughtful product execution matter. I’m currently open to SWE roles focused on backend systems, platform engineering, and user-facing reliability at scale. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer – AI & Full-Stack Systems | UBS @ UBS Jan 2023 – Present | New York, NY • Modernized a core Derivatives Services platform by migrating a Struts monolith to a cloud-native Spring Boot + React microservices architecture on Azure Kubernetes, enabling real-time client eligibility and funding visibility, and integrating AI-powered prompt workflows to analyze and summarize trade tables for Sales and Traders. • Developed and scaled s real-time trade negotiation platform handling $100M+ in quarterly flow, featuring smart security search, RFQ generation, and LLM-powered RFQ Chat exports using WebSocket streaming, AKS, Java, and TypeScript, reducing Sales’ manual workload by 80%. • Led agile delivery across two pods, mentored engineers, and improved CI/CD quality by optimizing GitLab boards, GitHub Actions, merge flows, release validation, and team-specific regression pipelines. ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Credit Suisse Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | United States ◦ Developed and scaled core microservices for a global Trade Management platform using .NET Core, Angular, Docker, NoSQL, and Sybase ASE, improving API latency by 50% and reducing trade processing bottlenecks across high-volume trading workflows. ◦ Designed and implemented microservices and APIs for optimized application performance, data flow, integration, and operational complexity management through monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting ◦ Led agile sprints, backlog management, and release planning for a 12-person cross-functional team, leveraging Atlassian tools (Jira + Confluence) to boost weekly software development time by 8-10 hours ### Software Engineer Intern @ T-Mobile Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Seattle, Washington, United States • Developed and deployed automated testing suite for IBM ODM internal Device Lifecycle Management APIs • Saved up to 1-2 business days of manual regression testing team per ODM Disposition change at domain level • Developed a fully functional web application for Supply Device Chain using React.js, Node.js, and Bootstrap etc. ### Information Technology Assistant @ Ronald Rettner Hall for Media Arts and Innovation - University of Rochester Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Rochester, New York, United States • Assist students and staff with technical problems ranging from the network connection to hardware malfunction • Perform DMCA scans and remove malware along with helping troubleshoot NetID and DUO Authentication issues. • Create 3D printing design products using Simplify3D, MakerBot, and FlashForge modeling software • Troubleshoot and debug Virtual/Augmented Reality equipment (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift) ### Systems Administrator @ University of Rochester Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Rochester, New York, United States ◦ Troubleshooted Microsoft Windows enterprise environment issues and support 1500 students using Jira Service Manager, slashing response time from 24 hours to immediate ◦ Lead an agile and cross-functional team of 15 students to perform system analysis on Windows, Android, or UNIX – based platforms using Malware Bytes and PowerShell, halving the number of DMCA violations ### Research Assistant at Human-Computer Interaction Lab @ University of Rochester Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Rochester, New York, United States ◦ Lead an agile and cross-functional frontend team and contributed to the development of PARK Test, a web application for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease using video analytics by re-engineering the static website to web application using React.js and Node.js servers ◦ Redesigned the UI/UX using the data driven approach, Google Analytics, and boosted the website traffic by 300% ### Software Engineering Intern | Network Analyst @ HCL Technologies Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Noida Area, India • Utilized Cisco Enterprise NFV Infrastructure software to create virtualized networks using Virtual Router, WAN optimization, ASA, Wireless LAN controller, and Virtual Firewall • Created, Deployed, and Maintained virtualized networks using NFVIS command-line interface up to 80% accuracy ### Summer Leadership Program fellow @ Brown University Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Providence, Rhode Island Area • Attended leadership and global Development program and studied intensive global marketing systems, social issues, and international relations. • Applied the experiences in implementing three pitcher water purification system in rural India and initiated a cleanliness drive under “Clean India Mission” ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of Rochester ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/psaini2 --- Source: https://flows.cv/piyushsaini JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/piyushsaini/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
