Sridaran Thoniyil is a Founding Engineer and senior Computer Science student at UMD with eight years of hands-on engineering experience spanning DevOps, embedded systems, and full-stack consulting. He optimized deployment pipelines and internal tooling at Jump Trading, reducing deployment times by ~30% and reclaiming compute capacity through smarter orchestration. Prior consulting work for a managed services firm exposed him to diverse business domains and led him to build a custom Django ticketing and knowledge-base system, demonstrating product-minded engineering. He’s comfortable across low-level robotics firmware and high-level web services, and enjoys applying Linux-driven custom workflows to squeeze more reliability and ergonomics from tooling. Actively building personal projects on GitHub—from market analyzers to keyboard transpilers—he combines practical automation expertise with curiosity for systems-level optimization. Currently seeking new grad roles where he can leverage his cross-domain experience to ship dependable, efficient systems.
