I’m Soumendra Kumar Sahoo, a software engineer from Bengaluru, India. I’m currently working as a Lead MLOps/System Engineer at Freshworks. I am also working as a part-time AI Consultant. I have 12+ years of experience in the field of software engineering. I have started my career as a COBOL/Mainframe developer. You can find my resume here.
I love to build and break latest tools and techs. I’m passionate about open-source software. Due to this I have made my hands dirty in LLMs, RAGs, DevOps, Full Stack Engineering, No Code development tools, Technical writing, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, IoT etc.
I am M.Tech in Data Science and Engineering from BITS Pilani where my thesis was on LLM alignment. I have co-authored an IEEE paper on LLM fine-tuning, I have a patent pending and I have contributed to many open-source projects.
