> Software Engineering & Machine Learning | Designing and building resilient, scalable systems

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/ritwiklodhiya

With 12+ years of experience as a software engineer, I’ve built my career around solving complex problems and architecting systems that are resilient, scalable, and impactful. What started as a passion for computer science in university has evolved into a journey defined by curiosity, problem solving, and the pursuit of engineering excellence.

My expertise spans backend and distributed systems as well as building machine learning platforms that help teams take models from research to production at scale. I bring full-stack experience and a strong foundation in system design and architecture. I’m proficient in a range of programming languages (Python, Go, TypeScript, Javascript, Java, C#) and databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, T-SQL. I thrive in modern cloud environments (AWS, GCP), and have expertise with containerization + orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) to build and scale complex systems. From designing APIs to implementing microservices, building CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring observability, I focus on creating solutions that last and scale with business needs.

A core pillar of my work today is Machine Learning. Beyond building robust software infrastructure, I’m passionate about applying ML and AI to real-world problems, from experimentation to production deployment. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of ML systems and scalability — how to take models from research to production in a way that is reliable, maintainable, and impactful.

I’ve had the privilege of leading multi-team engineering initiatives, partnering with product managers, data scientists, and domain experts to bring ideas from 0 → 1 and scale them across organizations. My experience spans technical leadership, mentoring junior and mid-level engineers, shaping hiring processes, and influencing product direction. I believe in creating environments where engineering excellence thrives — through clean, maintainable code, thoughtful system design, and a culture of data-driven decision making.

What drives me most is the opportunity to:

- Build systems and products that scale and endure.
- Apply machine learning in ways that deliver real, measurable impact.
- Lead by example -  mentoring, collaborating, and bringing cross-functional teams together.
- Learn continuously and stay at the frontier of software and ML.

As I look ahead, I’m excited about opportunities where I can combine my deep engineering expertise, leadership experience, and passion for technology to drive innovation and make a lasting impact.
