Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAshirwad Chakraborty is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade backend systems, real-time streaming pipelines, and ML-driven products, currently driving detection and communications intelligence at Uber. He blends systems and API design (gRPC/Protobuf), microservices, and database ops with hands-on data engineering and ML lifecycle work—taking models from problem formulation through tuning and deployment. At Uber he reduced time-to-detection for fare anomalies from days to seconds and built an RL-based multi-armed bandit service that materially improved SMS delivery and 2FA reliability, saving millions annually. His background includes leadership roles in retail e-commerce and mortgage-tech analytics, where he married business KPIs to MVP-driven delivery. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, he focuses on measurable outcomes and creating safe, motivating environments that push engineers to grow. Unusually, he pairs rigorous technical chops with formal study in cognitive science and epistemology, informing how he frames problems and evaluates model-driven decisions.
