Prathik Pugazhenthi
I'm a software engineer in Chicago. I build the infrastructure that lets AI systems ship safely and fast.
I finished an MS in Computer Science at UIC in May 2026. Before that I spent about two and a half years at Bajaj Finserv Health in Pune, where I built a medical image annotation platform used by 80,000+ doctors.
In 2025 I was at RadioFX, where I moved the team from Jenkins to a GitOps setup on GKE and built an AI pipeline that rebuilds a customer's website.
I'm looking for roles where AI, platform engineering and backend or cloud systems overlap.
