Hey, I am Addy...
Software Engineer • Distributed Systems • Applied AI
I'm a software engineer at ACV Auctions, with prior experience at Finacle. My work focuses on designing and developing new features and products, working daily with object-oriented design, microservices architecture, database design, version control, distributed, and monitoring systems.
In my free time, I build tools and systems that solve real-world challenges people face daily. I'm passionate about creating information systems that simplify complex, knowledge-intensive processes for specific user personas by providing accuracy, completeness, and actionable know-how across various areas including finance, international business law, taxes, immigration, wealth management, developer productivity, and personal productivity.
I continuously explore emerging technologies in software engineering, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and Agentic AI to build these solutions. I hold a BEng from Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai and formerly interned at McGill University, DRDO, and Pratt & Whitney.
