👋 I'm Charani, a Software Engineer passionate about building scalable, intelligent systems that blend backend development, cloud-native engineering, and AI/ML integration.

🎓 I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), where I served as a Graduate TA for Dr. Tianyang Wang's Machine Learning and Software Engineering, mentoring 275+ students across three semesters.

🧠 At UAB Medicine, I’m developing a multi-agent AI chatbot that integrates EHR systems with lightweight language models (SLMs) using LangChain, agent orchestration, and Python.

📊 At UAB Athletics, I automated ETL pipelines using Python, SQL, and AWS, and built role-based Power BI dashboards to deliver actionable insights to athletic coaches.

💻 At Cognizant, I engineered Spring Boot microservices with JWT security, built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker on AWS EC2, and migrated legacy monoliths to microservices using TDD—achieving 90%+ test coverage and boosting performance across systems.

💻 At EPAM Systems, I contributed to enterprise-grade Java applications, applying SOLID principles, CLI-based automation, and JUnit testing. I participated in Agile sprints to deliver production-ready features collaboratively.

🧪 I’ve worked on ML projects involving LLM-based summarization, RAG-based assistants, and full pipelines using Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MLOps best practices.

💡 I live by: Learn. Solve. Optimize. Help. I’m actively exploring roles where I can deepen my expertise and solve real-world challenges through code and collaboration.

🎨 Outside of tech, you’ll find me sketching, or lost in embracing the patterns of nature — always with music in the background to keep the rhythm going.
