Summary
Prithviraj Murthy is a results-driven software engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI agentic applications. He has delivered high-impact production services—from Blinkit’s ETA and serviceability platforms that drove daily orders from 60K to 300K and cut transit times, to cost-conscious, high-throughput APIs at Cruize Finance that helped secure $500K in seed funding. Currently pursuing an MS at NYU Courant while contributing to AI/LLM initiatives at Amazon and stealth AI projects, he blends rigorous academic training with hands-on systems engineering in Python, Java, Kubernetes, and AWS. He favors pragmatic, resource-efficient designs (e.g., 5k RPM APIs on sub-$100 monthly infra) and has experience across message queues, event-driven architectures, and blockchain smart contracts. A former founding engineer and tech lead, he pairs product-minded thinking with low-level technical ownership and a habit of shipping measurable operational improvements. Based in Seattle, he’s passionate about turning research-grade ideas into production-ready, cost-effective systems.
