# Shreyas Kulkarni > Senior Software Engineer | AI/ML Backend and Infra Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shreyaskulkarni1 🔧 Backend & Infrastructure Software Engineer | AI/ML Systems | Scalable Systems Enthusiast 🚀 Sharing insights on AI, infra, scaling, and engineering 🧠 Exploring new tools and technologies in AI & Software Engineering I work at the intersection of backend infrastructure and AI/ML systems — where performance, reliability, and scalability aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re mission-critical. From distributed training pipelines to real-time inference, my focus is on building systems that handle complexity at scale. On this page, you'll find posts and thoughts on: • The backend of AI — not just models, but the systems that serve them • Infra patterns behind large-scale ML applications • Vector DBs, model serving, orchestration, observability • Emerging tools like LangChain, Ray, vLLM, LoRA, Weaviate, and Modal • Honest breakdowns of engineering decisions, trade-offs, and lessons from the trenches If you're into high-scale infra, AI system design, or curious where modern tooling is heading — let’s connect. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Oracle Jan 2025 – Present | New York, United States ### Software Engineer II @ Oracle Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco, California, United States Oracle AI Agents | ML Platform ### Graduate Teaching Associate @ San Jose State University Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | United States Designed, instructed, and evaluated C++ Object-Oriented Programming course for over 400 students across 8+ classes in 3 semesters. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Oracle Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | United States - Built an end-to-end high-availability archive file system to enable traceability and reporting for 4 multi-billion-dollar downstream clients in 8 weeks using Java, Maven, and Gradle. - Implemented the virtual file system manager in to compress and handle 158 unique file types while supporting asynchronous time-based memory management of resources. - Created and seamlessly integrated a frontend web app from scratch to analyse the internal operations of six clients (scalable to handle up to 10,000 users concurrently) using web technologies like ReactJS, JavaScript, Node.js, Material UI, and Next.js. ### Associate Software Engineer - Data Engineer @ Blackhawk Network India Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Bengaluru, Karnataka, India -Worked in the data engineering team towards migration of the entire Blackhawk Network’s data-warehouse and the development of a new and optimized data pipeline architecture. -Developed, optimized, tested and deployed various AWS components in our data pipeline(AWS Lambda, S3, EC2, SQS, SNS, Kinesis Stream, S3 buckets, DynamoDB, Cloudwatch dashboard, Admin Portal, etc). -Extensively used ETL methodology for supporting data extraction, transformation, loading, validating and scheduling data from multiple different Data Warehouses to Redshift using technologies like Datastage, Matillion, Tidal, etc. -Design, development and maintenance of Business Solutions, Data-warehouse and Data-mart Solutions. ### Senior Student Brand Manager @ Red Bull Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ### Student Brand Manager @ Red Bull Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India -Responsible for maintaining the Red Bull brand image on campus while creating large scale events to drive awareness and product sales to local accounts. -Increasing trial and awareness amongst students during relevant consumption occasions. -Leverage On-Campus connections to drive participation for national and global collegiate initiatives. -Conducting marketing research on college-aged students to enhance effectiveness of marketing methods around campus. -Support for regional business developer to ensure product availability, visibility and communication in key sales accounts. ### Software Engineering Intern @ Knowledge Lens Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Bangalore - Leveraged lightweight messaging technologies such as Mosquitto MQTT and HiveMQ to provide a near real-time and low latency data transfers to and from different industrial sub-systems improving speeds by 23%. - Pioneered a publisher-subscribe infrastructure to combat frequent overload of traffic and scales to handle nearly ~10M clients. - Researched Quorum Blockchain on tracking origins and detecting counterfeits in the supply chain.
