Pranav Govindaswamy

Code Alchemist | Turning Coffee into Cloud-Native Magic ☕→☁️

I architect distributed systems that handle events, craft beautiful frontends with React and Vue.js, and build intelligent applications with Vertex AI. When I'm not optimizing Kubernetes deployments or debugging Kafka streams, I'm exploring event-driven architectures and contributing to open-source. I believe great code is like poetry—elegant, performant, and maintainable.

Work Experience

Software Developer

Heartland Community Network

Oct 2025 - Present

Developed the Adtua platform using Java-based microservices to connect advertisers with billboard broadcasters, exposing RESTful APIs and role-based access control, and supporting 1,000+ registered users. Integrated a natural-language driven search capability using Python services with Vertex AI for intent extraction, converting free-text advertiser input into structured query parameters and reducing average inventory selection time by 40%. Designed a scalable inventory service backed by indexed database queries, displaying 500+ advertising spaces and supporting filters for location and display type under 5 seconds. Streamlined backend services for campaign creation, messaging, and listing verification using asynchronous workflows and validation layers, supporting 300+ advertiser–broadcaster conversations.

Software Engineer

FSU Information Technology Services

Oct 2024 - May 2025

Architected a distributed microservices platform using Spring Framework for Researcher, Grant Billing, and Analytics services, improving scalability by 3× and optimizing workflows for 2,500 faculty and researchers. Designed REST APIs and implemented high-performance communication with gRPC and Protocol Buffers, reducing payload size by 55% and inter-service latency to under 50ms during peak loads. Engineered an event-driven pipeline with Apache Kafka in KRaft mode, using the Outbox pattern and Change Data Capture to ensure reliable event propagation and real-time synchronization for 10k messages/day. Containerized all services using Docker and orchestrated their deployment on Kubernetes (AWS EKS) with Terraform, automating infrastructure provisioning, ensuring environment consistency, and reducing release time by 40%. Integrated observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, along with CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, boosting fault detection by 60% and ensuring zero downtime during updates.

AI Engineer

JH Creative

May 2024 - Sep 2024

Deployed LLM-based APIs using Amazon Bedrock (Claude, Titan, Cohere), supporting 3,000+ monthly AI requests across production applications for summarization, question answering, and decision-support workflows. Implemented retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using Amazon OpenSearch and S3, indexing approximately 8,000 documents and improving response relevance and factual grounding by 30% compared to prompt-only approaches. Executed AI data preparation and training workflows using Vertex AI, processing 6,000+ records per training cycle for feature preprocessing, and evaluation prior to downstream deployment in production inference systems. Developed serverless GenAI workflows using AWS Lambda and DynamoDB to manage prompt metadata, versioning, and fallback routing, supporting 10+ active prompt versions while reducing inference failures by 50%. Built AI usage and cost dashboards using Amazon QuickSight, tracking weekly model usage, error rates, and cost trends and enabling a 20% reduction in GenAI operational costs through usage optimization.
