# Uday Nair > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/udaynair I’m a software engineer who enjoys working on real problems and building things that are useful, reliable, and easy to maintain. In my day-to-day work, I focus on understanding what actually needs to be built, making practical trade-offs, and keeping solutions simple. I like working through ambiguity, breaking problems down, and collaborating closely with teammates to ship solid features rather than over-engineered ones. I’ve worked on both large systems and smaller projects, and I’m comfortable taking ownership from idea to execution. Outside of work, I enjoy building side projects that solve everyday problems, especially tools that save time and reduce manual effort. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ C3 AI Jan 2024 – Present | Redwood City, California, United States Implementing the development and continuous improvement of a real-time operations and analytics platform used by law enforcement agencies across California.
