# Shripad Mangavalli > SWE @ Nomad AI | Prev @ Kaiser Permanente | LLM & RAG Systems | CS @ UCSC Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shripadmangavalli Hi, I'm Shripad Mangavalli, an aspiring Software Engineer with a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz. I’m passionate about applying technology to solve real-world problems and build intelligent, scalable systems. I’ve gained hands-on experience through my previous role at Kaiser Permanente as an AI Software Engineering Intern, my contributions as a Software Engineer at Nomad AI, and an internship with Outamation — working on projects involving natural language processing, automation, and backend development. Technically, I’m skilled in Python, Java, and C++, and enjoy working in collaborative, cross-functional teams. Outside of work, I’m into badminton and exploring video games. Always open to connecting with tech enthusiasts, mentors, and collaborators! ## Work Experience ### Undergraduate Researcher @ AIEA Lab Jan 2025 – Present | Santa Cruz, CA LLM Research ### Software Engineer @ Nomad AI LLC Jan 2025 – Present • Contributed to backend web applications for an AI-driven travel platform using Python, increasing user engagement by 25% through personalized itinerary generation. • Supported backend API improvements and UI/UX enhancements to help optimize overall system performance and user engagement. ### Web Developer @ Tech4Good @ UCSC Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Santa Cruz, California, United States Web development. ### AI Software Engineer Intern @ Kaiser Permanente Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Pleasanton, California, United States • Engineered an AI system using GPT-4o to convert billing data into plain-English summaries, reducing billing-related support inquiries by an estimated 25%. • Introduced a GPT-4o-powered feature that compares current and future insurance plans, resulting in a 30% increase in plan-switch engagement. • Implemented a GPT-4o chatbot to answer benefits-related questions and support plan search, leading to a 20% drop in support volume. ### AI and Automation Intern @ Outamation Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 • Designed automated document processing pipelines using NLP, Computer Vision (PyMuPDF, Tesseract OCR), achieving a 40% reduction in processing time for enterprise clients. • Constructed a LlamaIndex + RAG search system, improving document search precision by 18%, and compiled a technical report highlighting optimization strategies for deployment scalability. ### Chief Executive Officer @ ExtendCaliber Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Fremont, California, United States ### Artificial Intelligence Researcher @ Inspirit AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 ### AI Blogger @ Inspirit AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 ### AI Ambassador @ Inspirit AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 ### Build Programmer @ Hack the Hood Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Oakland, California, United States • Revealed disparities in education access by conducting a COVID-19 impact study using data analytics, leading to insights into digital learning inequalities. • Improved data analysis workflows by leveraging Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn, reducing data processing time by 30%. • Presented key findings through visualizations, enabling decision-makers to understand pandemic-related educational challenges. ### Student Intern @ Aptitude Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 • Developed a sentiment analysis model by training NLP algorithms on Disney reviews, achieving high classification accuracy. • Built an interactive chatbot using Python and AI techniques, enhancing user engagement with real-time responses. • Led weekly Agile discussions, improving team collaboration and sprint efficiency. ### AI Scholar @ Inspirit AI Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 • Developed a project implementing Decision Trees and KNeighborsRegressor ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of California, Santa Cruz ### High School Diploma Washington High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/shripad-mangavalli --- Source: https://flows.cv/shripadmangavalli JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/shripadmangavalli/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-10
