Hi, I'm Arya Pathrikar
Turning ideas into systems and chaos into architecture.
Seeking opportunities to build scalable backends, clean architectures, and AI-driven applications.
About Me
Greetings! I’m a Software Engineer with experience building end-to-end applications using Java, Spring Boot, React, and modern AI technologies. I’ve worked across backend systems, RESTful APIs, cloud deployments, and LLM-powered features, contributing to fast-paced startup teams and delivering reliable, scalable solutions. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing clean architectures, and bringing clarity to messy technical challenges. I’m currently seeking full-time opportunities in Software Engineering or AI Engineering where I can continue building products that make a real impact.
