> Software Engineer @ NutraCompass | Actively Interviewing for Software & AI/ML Engineer Roles

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

Software engineer with two years of experience building scalable, production-ready systems across applied machine learning and full-stack development.

I specialize in designing and deploying intelligent applications that combine cloud-native architectures with machine learning pipelines. My work includes developing an automated trading platform using reinforcement learning, deploying deep learning models for medical image classification, and delivering AI-powered consumer products in the nutrition and edtech domains.

I have contributed across the stack, from building responsive front-end applications in React and Next.js, to developing backend APIs with FastAPI and Node.js, to deploying ML workflows using PyTorch, TensorFlow, and LangChain. I have production experience with AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, and CI/CD pipelines for high-availability systems.

I bring founder level ownership to projects, with a focus on performance, reliability, and measurable impact. Currently seeking full-time roles where I can apply my experience in AI/ML and software engineering to build scalable systems at global scale.

## Work Experience
