Saketh Dargula is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building full-stack, user-focused products and infrastructure across startups, academia, and enterprise. He blends strong backend skills (Python, AWS, ETL) with practical frontend and mobile experience, having led development of an Android scanning app and an Angular management console for medical inventory. At FactSet he architects cost-effective AWS and on-prem ETL pipelines for large market data while collaborating closely with downstream product teams. An early contributor to the open-source Submitty auto-grader, he reworked grade inquiries, added timezone-aware features, and expanded email notifications—demonstrating an eye for real user workflows beyond algorithmic puzzles. Fast to learn new languages and tools, Saketh treats software development as people-centered problem solving rather than a coding exercise.
