Hi, I’m Nive! Hand Wave Gif

I’m a Software Engineer with a Master’s in Computational Data Science from Carnegie Mellon University. I specialize in building scalable ML systems at the intersection of Real-time Data Infrastructure, Intelligent Agents, and High-performance Computing Backend Platforms.

My experience spans end-to-end ML workflows, edge inference optimization, and LLM-based agents with structured reasoning. I’ve contributed to distributed systems, observability pipelines, and database-driven ETL platforms using technologies like Kafka, Kubernetes, PyTorch, TensorFlow Lite, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP.

At Citi and Fidelity, I modernized infrastructure, boosted backend throughput, and automated secure, large-scale ETL pipelines powering critical analytics. I’m currently seeking roles in Software Engineering, ML Platforms, or Data Infrastructure, where I can build reliable and efficient systems at scale. Latest Resume
