Swapnil Negi is a software engineer and technical lead with nine years of experience building scalable cloud and AI-driven products, currently working on workload performance and kernel qualification for GCE and now at Stripe. He has led AI initiatives and backend architecture at Newton School—shipping an AI-powered DSA tutor and mock-interview system that raised accuracy from 73% to 91% with contextual adaptations of large models. His background spans Azure edge cloud services at Microsoft, production-grade backend systems, and competitive programming (ICPC Asia West), blending low-level performance tuning with product-focused engineering. An early open-source contributor and Google Summer of Code alumnus, he improved GNU Radio’s modtool and made it Python3-compatible, demonstrating attention to developer experience and tooling. Comfortable leading small teams, he has a track record of automating workflows that saved substantial human effort (e.g., Topic Tree) and scaling learning platforms through lean engineering. Based in Karnataka, India, he pairs systems-level depth with practical ML integrations to turn research-grade ideas into reliable, production software.
