I’m Yogiraj, a Software Engineer with 4+ years building distributed systems, AI platforms, and cloud-native infrastructure. I’ve led migrations of high-traffic services, shipped LLM products processing millions of interactions a day, and owned systems from architecture through production across logistics, analytics, and communications.

I currently work as a consultant at Nilenso, a software collective in Bengaluru.
