Tanmay Naik is a software engineer with a decade of experience building full-stack and backend systems, currently contributing to Cisco’s APIC Platform. He blends practical engineering with user-focused automation—early in his career he turned repetitive student tasks into widely used cross-platform apps and later automated large-scale graph-database comparisons at Infosys. Comfortable across Java, Python, Go, C#, PHP and databases from Oracle to graph stores, he ships reliable services and REST APIs while exploring blockchain and distributed systems. As an open-source contributor and former intern, he improved authentication and testing in the OCI-native zot container registry, demonstrating attention to robustness in production tooling. Based in San Jose and academically grounded with an MS in Computer Science from Northeastern, he enjoys applying new frameworks to reduce everyday effort and deliver measurable impact.
