Profile: https://flows.cv/rahulhardikar

Software Engineer at Amazon Robotics, building perception and autonomy infrastructure for large-scale robot fleets — from high-throughput AWS data pipelines ingesting sensor data at scale and multi-object tracking to dynamic obstacle generation and spatial congestion analysis for fleet path planning.

What makes my background unusual is the full stack it covers — from hardware design and FPGA architecture at Tejas Networks, to memory system verification at ARM, to cloud microservices, and now robotics perception. I'm drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of systems thinking and real-world physical constraints.

MS in Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech. Currently deepening expertise in SLAM, visual perception, and autonomous systems.
