Profile: https://flows.cv/priyashah1

I am a Software Engineer specializing in the development of high-availability APIs, distributed architectures, and test automation. My recent work focuses on the intersection of cloud-native infrastructure and AI-driven automation.

At Cobham SATCOM, I involved in the development of integration layers and distributed task queues that have increased command reliability by 25% and boosted system throughput by 40%. I am particularly passionate about leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and event-driven architectures (Kafka) to solve complex data retrieval and telemetry challenges.

Core Expertise:

Backend: Python (FastAPI, Django), Celery, REST APIs

Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, RDS, SQS), Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes

Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Pinecone (Vector DB), Redis

Modern Tech: RAG Pipelines, Distributed Systems, CI/CD Optimization

Feel free to reach out — happy to connect!
