# Yashwanth Hirehalli Swamy > Software Designer & Developer Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/yashwanthhirehalliswamy Hi, I'm Yashwanth! A fun-loving technologist with a knack for building innovative software solutions to tackle complex problems. My journey started in Bengaluru, India, where I dived deep into developing cutting-edge systems for EV charging at Siemens. Since then, I’ve honed my craft at Nasdaq and Canoo, blending expertise in full-stack development, distributed systems, and cloud technologies. With a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder, I thrive at the intersection of curiosity and code. Whether it’s architecting efficient distributed systems or crafting intuitive dashboards, I approach challenges with creativity and precision. Outside the world of code, you'll often find me scaling mountain peaks or diving into adventure activities, seeking inspiration and perspective. Let's connect and explore how we can innovate together! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer II @ Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies Jan 2025 – Present | Palo Alto, California, United States ### Senior Software Engineer @ Canoo Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Dallas, Texas, United States • Constructed infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Jenkins for vehicle software migration Over The-Air (OTA) systems from AWS to GCP leading to zero critical incidents post-migration • Accelerated issue tracking and reporting efficiency by 30% through architecting a custom Jira and Microsoft Teams integration leveraging Java, Node.js and RESTful APIs • Deployed comprehensive unit tests, achieving 90% coverage of crucial API endpoints with Jest and Mockito, reducing critical issues in the subsequent quarterly release ### Course Facilitator @ University of Colorado Boulder College of Engineering & Applied Science Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Boulder, Colorado, United States • Assisted professors in designing and evaluating coursework, including assessments and practical assignments, for Big Data Architecture and Software Design Patterns courses. • Supported students by clarifying complex concepts, offering guidance on projects, and fostering an engaging learning environment to enhance their understanding of course material. ### SpectrumX Center Graduate Student Assistant @ University of Colorado Boulder College of Engineering & Applied Science Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Boulder, Colorado, United States • Designed and executed an ArcGIS dashboard to visualize and analyze cellular network strength and parameters across various U.S. states. The dashboard serves the Federal Communications Commission in evaluating nationwide network coverage. • Provided guidance and training to undergraduates from five universities, fostering the creation of state-specific dashboards to empower data-driven decision-making. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Nasdaq Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Denver, Colorado, United States • Orchestrated the development of a configuration tool using Spring Boot, React, and Redux, which accelerated processing times for large datasets by 45% and enhanced data handling efficiency, enabling faster reporting • Developed a solution with Spring Cloud Config Server to manage and access configuration report versions from GitLab, reducing configuration errors to less than 1% ### Senior Software Engineer @ Siemens Technology India Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 | Bengaluru, Karnataka, India • Architected asynchronous, event-driven architecture for EV charging platform utilizing Kafka with Java, Python and Node.js, accelerating system responsiveness and slashed latency from 800ms to 50ms improving reliability • Developed interactive dashboards leveraging Angular and Redux, visualizing real-time EV charging data that boosted application performance by 40% and enhanced user experience across 1M users • Transformed microservices scalability by overhauling Kubernetes job management and Spring Boot service threading models, handling 10,000+ concurrent EV charging requests without system degradation • Devised preconditioning algorithms, which optimized energy utilization, decreased peak load demand by 30%, and reduced grid stress which was critical for reducing energy bill • Engineered introduction, an interactive onboarding prompt, which automated key aspects of the customer onboarding experience, resulting in a 40% reduction in time spent on initial setup • Automated database migrations using a .NET tool that cloned repositories and executed version-specific migrations, decreasing manual effort by 60% and improving deployment efficiency by 45% • Constructed a suite of end-to-end tests for critical microservices by adopting Mocha, Chai, and Jest. the outcome was achieving a automate critical business functionality use case, validated on each pull request ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Computer Science Bangalore University ### Schooling 4th-12th Sai Angels Education Institutions ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/yashwanthhs - Portfolio: https://yashwanthswamy.com/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/yashwanthhirehalliswamy JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/yashwanthhirehalliswamy/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
