# Shreedhar Pandey > Software Engineer @ TikTok/Bytedance | TEDx Speaker Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shreedhar I’m a curious explorer at heart—whether I’m coding scalable systems, navigating the wild frontiers of AI, or diving into the mysteries of the universe. For the last three years at ByteDance/TikTok, I led and contributed to major projects in Global Payments, including the design and rollout of in-house risk systems, our e-commerce platform, and the management of global network payment service providers. The real joy? Teaming up with talented people, learning something new every day, and building things that actually work when it counts. What gets me out of bed? The thrill of discovery, the magic that happens when people and AI create together, and the belief that meaningful work is always an adventure. I love collaborating with teams that value experimentation, wonder, and a little bit of boldness. I’m now on the lookout for my next opportunity as a Software Engineer, Technical Product Lead, or Founding Engineer with a team that’s not afraid to dream big, play with new ideas, and leave a mark. Remote or hybrid is great, but for me, the mission and the people matter most. One of my favorite quotes is: "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." That’s how I see meaningful work: building things not just for today, but for a future we can’t quite see yet—a future that just might surprise us all. If you want to swap wild ideas, build something ambitious, or chat about expanding human consciousness (or just compare notes on the best coffee), I’m always up for a conversation. ## Work Experience ### Fullstack Software Engineer @ TikTok Jan 2022 – Present | San Jose, California, United States Global Payments ### Fullstack Software Engieer @ ByteDance Jan 2022 – Present | San Jose, California, United States ### Young Professionals Hub Lead @ The Great Nepali Diaspora Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | United States ### Software Engineering Instructor @ Flatiron School Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States ### Undergraduate Teaching Assistant @ Valparaiso University Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Valparaiso, Indiana, United States ### Ambassador in Admissions @ Valparaiso University Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | Valparaiso, IN, USA ### Front Desk Attendant, Duesenberg Welcome Center @ Valparaiso University Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | Valparaiso, IN, USA ### Peer Tutor @ Valparaiso University Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Valparaiso, Indiana, United States ### Software Engineer @ Woven Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Indianapolis, Indiana, United States • Used React and Ruby on Rails to maintain a full-stack application which is helping over 30 customers make their hiring process efficient and find hidden gems within a pool of applicants • Assisted in the process of increasing the company’s annual ARR by 116% and 3x its revenue ### Software Engineer @ TechPoint Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Indianapolis, Indiana, United States • Worked as a project manager and software developer on a multi-disciplinary team to create a solution for the challenges faced during COVID-19 pandemic.
