Profile: https://flows.cv/tarunkumarpinnem

Software Engineer building production full-stack systems with React/TypeScript and backend services in Python (FastAPI) and Java (Spring Boot). I’ve shipped AI-assisted features that improve real workflows, with a focus on reliability, clear APIs, and clean data.

What I do best:
• Build end-to-end features (API → UI → deployment) with strong validation and testing
• Design data pipelines and retrieval systems (SQL, Redis/Kafka, vector search) that stay stable in production
• Debug performance issues across UI, service, and database layers

Recent outcomes:
• Cut a 20–30 min workflow to ~2–3 min by automating backend steps and tightening the UI flow
• Reduced production issues by 85% by adding CI gates, integration tests, and safer deployments

Stack: React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, GitHub Actions/Jenkins, AWS/GCP, LangChain/LangGraph
