Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHemu Arumugam is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who transitioned from developing crowd simulation and artist tools at Pixar to building full‑stack web services and backend systems at companies like Uber. He has hands‑on experience delivering production infrastructure—Kafka-based real‑time messaging, onboarding and verification flows, and promotions systems—while contributing to deployment and debugging of core architecture in AWS and internal platforms. Over the past three years he’s concentrated on full‑stack development and is actively expanding into data engineering and machine learning, grounded by a dual MIT background in aerospace engineering and computer science. Hemu’s curiosity drives him to relearn foundational math and sciences (physics, biology, chemistry) to better tackle problems in education, ML, and biotech/medical domains. He’s comfortable in both solo projects and collaborative product work, and brings a rare blend of film‑grade simulation experience and pragmatic backend engineering.
