# Vikram T. > Building Something Interesting Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vikramt Current Areas of Interest: 1. Abundance in Housing and Energy -> https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-housing-theory-of-everything/ -> How can we utilize new technology to help achieve abundance in both housing and energy both of which are essential for every part of the economy 2. The Attention Economy -> Large social media companies have mastered the science of attention and have been able to transform the conscious choice of consumption into a subconscious habit. -> Clearly some people seek to reclaim the choice of consumption through the usage of apps such as one sec, Opal. Jomo, Foqos, Brick, Bloom, Unpluq, Blok -> Yet these apps don't go far enough, is there a way we could require an intention to every phone pick up? ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer 2 @ Invisible AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineer @ Nuro Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area • Redesigned C++ calibration parameter infrastructure to a more hierarchical structure reducing duplicated code by over 60% • Integrated a new proto message format for the calibration params reducing the size of these messages by over 40%. • Implemented 12 sensors in the new calibration parameter format including: lidar, radar, camera, and IMU sensors. ### Software Engineer Intern @ MongoDB Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | New York, New York, United States • Reduced support time for customer issues on Atlas by 10% by creating new admin features using Java • Increased observability of the Atlas System by 10% by adding Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards • Created new admin routines that solved pending Index HELP tickets 50% faster than previous methods • Implemented extensive unit and integration tests using Java Mockito ### Software Engineer Intern @ Beingo Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Implemented a link shortener service that reduced link length by 65% allowing for easy sharing across social media • Designed and developed a web scraper that automatically creates a chatbot decreasing deploy time by 20%. • Engineered and deployed a public REST API for the web scraper utilizing Amazon LightSail, Nginx, and Flask ### PREP Intern @ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater Denver Area • Redesigned a REST API for IoT devices to publish information to external mapping system using Flask, HTML, and CSS. • Restructured rigid SQL database to MongoDB database decreasing time taken to add new devices by almost 100%. • Enabled the project to use horizontal scaling infrastructure instead of more expensive vertical scaling using MongoDB. • Decreased setup time by 95% and added scalability features using Docker containerization and bash scripts. • Documented design decisions and quick setup instructions on previously undocumented code for quick setup time. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science Georgia Institute of Technology ### Bachelor of Applied Science - BASc in Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder College of Engineering & Applied Science ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/vikram-t --- Source: https://flows.cv/vikramt JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/vikramt/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
