👋 Hey there! I'm Srinidhi Sunkara, a Software Engineer with a knack for problem-solving, writing clean code, and making the world just a bit more efficient — one Python, Java, or C# line at a time. 💼 Currently honing my skills at Cisco as a Software Engineer, where I'm fine-tuning performance (because who doesn’t love faster, scalable systems?) and building AI solutions that analyze search patterns like a detective on caffeine. When I’m not optimizing systems, I’m busy helping Cisco attract and retain customers with some cutting-edge tech (GenAI and RAG models, anyone? 🎯). 🚀 Previously, I helped Tesla supercharge warehouse efficiency — yep, I made their systems quicker so more EVs can hit the road faster 🏎️. I’ve also tackled my share of bugs, wrangled feature flags, and integrated systems across languages. Need APIs for high-volume B2B requests? Consider it handled ✅. 🌍 I’m always up for a challenge. From developing ML models at Carnegie Mellon (looking at you, COVID-19 diagnosis) to streamlining CI/CD pipelines at Citi Bank, I’ve been in the trenches and learned a ton. Got a complex problem? I’m your go-to. Backend, frontend, full-stack magic — bring it on. 💡 When I’m not coding, you can find me geeking out over the latest tech trends, contributing at hackathons, or happily organizing Jira tasks (yes, I’m one of those people 🙃). 👩💻 Let’s connect if you're into software engineering, full-stack development, or just want to chat about AI, scalable systems, or the newest JavaScript framework (because, let’s be honest, there’s always another one 😅).
Building Recommendation System for YouTube Teens - Optimize YouTube ML models by researching and implementing high-dimensional audio and video embeddings. - Execute cross-functional experiments to elevate the quality and relevance of video recommendations for teenagers. - Translate analytical findings into technical documentation and executive reports to drive product roadmap decisions. - Launch critical wellbeing features that directly improve the safety and mental health outcomes for teen viewers.
