# Saksham Jairath > Prev SWE @ Meta | CompE @ UIUC Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/sakshamjairath Hey! I’m Saksham Jairath, a senior Computer Engineering student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Business Minor, Data Science Certification), graduating in May 2026. I’m seeking full-time Software Engineering roles for 2026. As an Android Software Engineer Intern at WhatsApp (Meta), I engineered high-performance, privacy-preserving real-time presence systems for the calling platform — integrating Kotlin concurrency primitives, distributed backend services, and dynamic UI flows. I implemented features like contact profile rendering on tap and participant mute orchestration with robust business logic, backed by test coverage. I also led Java-to-Kotlin migrations to improve modularity, accessibility, and multilingual support. Previously, as a Software Developer Intern at Crowe LLP, I improved backend scalability and reliability in Microsoft Dynamics 365 by optimizing performance and debugging production-critical issues. I developed a client-facing Accounts Payable and expense management platform in X++, C#, and SQL — implementing workflow orchestration, transactional data integrity, audit trails, and real-time financial reporting pipelines. On campus, I serve as Software Chair for the Illinois Consulting Group, delivering responsive, SEO-optimized web solutions for energy-sector clients, and as Technical Coordinator for IEEE-UIUC, leading AI/UX workshops and embedding industry best practices into our engineering projects. I’m passionate about building scalable, user-centric, and automation-driven systems that bridge deep technical complexity with practical, high-impact solutions. ## Work Experience ### Software Developer - Technology Committee @ NOBE - National Organization for Business and Engineering Jan 2023 – Present | Champaign, Illinois, United States As part of the esteemed National Organization of Business and Engineers (NOBE), I am working on technical projects within the technology committee as a software developer. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Meta Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Menlo Park, California, United States SWE Intern on WhatsApp Core Consumer Calling Social Calling Team as an Android Engineer, contributing to the development and optimization of core infrastructure components within large-scale mobile applications.
