# Shreyashe Sarepalli > Backend Software Developer with 3+ years of experience in scalable applications, proficient in Java (Spring), SQL, and Python. Skilled in full-stack development, RESTful APIs, and database optimization. Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shreyashe As a Backend Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience, I specialize in designing scalable and high-performance systems. My expertise spans Java (Spring Boot), Python, SQL, cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, Azure), PostgreSQL, and API development. I thrive in building data pipelines, optimizing databases, and improving system performance while ensuring solutions are both cost-effective and efficient. In my previous role at ValueLabs, I engineered a PostgreSQL function that boosted reporting efficiency by 40%, reduced processing time, and lowered operational costs. I also spearheaded the migration of legacy systems, improving system throughput by 25% and reducing downtime during peak periods. My technical expertise is complemented by strong collaboration skills, having led teams in code reviews, system troubleshooting, and the development of best practices to increase team efficiency by 30%. Currently, as a Graduate Research Intern at Syracuse University, I’m expanding my skills in AI and large language models (LLMs), focusing on enhancing recommendation systems and ensuring fairness through bias detection and mitigation strategies. I’m committed to continuous learning and applying cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world challenges. I’m eager to connect with professionals and organizations looking to leverage my skills in backend development, cloud solutions, and AI to create scalable, impactful systems. Let’s connect and discuss how we can collaborate on innovative projects! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ PayPal Jan 2025 – Present | San Jose, California, United States ### Research And Development Intern @ Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science Jan 2024 – Present | Syracuse, New York, United States Designed and optimized AI models for personalized content delivery, experimenting with different techniques to improve recommendation accuracy and user engagement.
