Hi, I'm Saksham

Software Engineer

About

Most of my work sits in backend systems, cloud infrastructure on AWS, and applied AI.

Currently a Software Engineer at Social Science Works in Germany, building an AI platform that cuts bureaucracy for refugees and the social workers who support them. Before that, internships at Amazon as a Software Development Engineer, at Adobe as a Customer Experience Maker, and at Conatus Bharat as a Backend Developer.

Building, shipping, and learning in public on LinkedIn and X, with open source contributions to npm CLI, FreeCAD, and freeCodeCamp.

  5. Web Developer, Amity University Design Lab

    · Noida, India · Part time

    Collaborated on web development projects with the university Design Lab, guiding junior developers and faculty.

    • Contributed full stack development to a project with an approved copyright.
    • Guided junior developers and faculty on web development work.

I own things end to end: the design doc, the code, the tests, and the late night page if it ever comes to that. I ask why before how, ship small and often, and leave every codebase a little cleaner than I found it. Hand me a fuzzy goal and you get back a clear plan, a working build, and a commit message that explains itself.

Click the text. It has commitment issues, unlike me.
