# Shivang Raikar > Software Engineer @ Ohm | MS CS @UMass Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shivang Building Software @ Ohm. My role has evolved to encompass the development and optimization of software solutions, leveraging my background in Python, Java, full-stack development, data analysis, machine learning, and AI. The culmination of these skills has facilitated the creation of scalable systems that meet and exceed organizational goals, showcasing a steadfast commitment to excellence and a drive for continuous learning and improvement. Goal: Learn new technologies, skills, and collaborate with diverse, talented teams. Beyond coding, I am intrigued by business, management, philosophy, and music. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Ohm Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area -- Building full-stack features across a Python/Django backend and React/TypeScript frontend, with a focus on reliability and performance at scale. Designed and shipped RAG pipelines and multi-agent systems that bring LLM capabilities into production workflows. Own end-to-end delivery across backend APIs, database modeling (PostgreSQL), and cloud infrastructure (AWS) — from architecture to deployment. -- Built systems to capture data for clients/customers during inspections and on-site services that lead to better customer satisfaction and increases unit reliability for owners and manufacturers. ### Software Engineer @ Steam Works Studio Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Downingtown, PA -- Contributed to full-stack feature development on an engineering team with focus on RAG pipeline for insurance and clinical bots. Worked across the stack building backend services and UI components, collaborating async across timezones. Focused on delivering clean, testable code with a short feedback loop between design and production. ### Software Engineer Fellow @ Headstarter Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 -- Selected for an intensive AI engineering fellowship focused on shipping real products fast. Built and deployed multiple AI-powered applications over the course of the program, working with LLMs, vector databases, and modern full-stack tooling. Emphasis on rapid prototyping, user feedback loops, and taking ideas from zero to deployed. ### Research Software Engineer @ Machine Psychology @ UMass Boston Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Boston, MA -- Contributed to applied ML and NLP research at the intersection of human psychology and language models. Built infrastructure to support research experiments, processed and analyzed large datasets, and implemented models to study how AI systems behave and interact with human cognition. Bridged the gap between research insights and reproducible, engineered systems. ### Teaching Staff @ University of Massachusetts Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Boston, MA -- Graded assignments, and ran review sessions — essentially debugging other people's mental models before debugging code became the job. ### Academic Tutor @ University of Massachusetts Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Boston, MA Supported undergraduate students in Mathematics, and Physics coursework. ### Teaching Staff @ University of Massachusetts Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States ### Software Engineer Intern @ Crane Payment Innovations Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Malvern, PA -- Worked within an Agile development team on test automation and software quality for embedded payment systems. Wrote and maintained automated test suites, participated in sprint cycles, and contributed to QA pipelines for hardware-integrated software, learning fast in a domain where failures have physical consequences. ### Full Stack Engineer @ Stealth Startup Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Mumbai -- Early member of a founding-stage team building a full-stack product from the ground up to deal with business within the automobile domain including buying/selling parts. Owned database architecture and development, led key backend features, and wore multiple hats across engineering and project coordination. Gained hands-on experience with the messiness and momentum of zero-to-one product building. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science University of Massachusetts Boston Honors College ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Computer Science University of Mumbai ### Diploma of Education in Computer Science University of Mumbai ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/shivang-raikar --- Source: https://flows.cv/shivang JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/shivang/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
