About
I'm Sampath Jonnalagadda — a Lead Software Engineer with over 11 years of experience building large-scale enterprise systems. My work sits at the intersection of AI engineering, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture. I specialize in turning hard infrastructure and AI problems into reliable, maintainable software.
I hold a Master of Software Engineering from the University of Houston Clear Lake, and certifications in Machine Learning (eCornell, 2024), AWS Solutions Architect (SAA-C03, 2022), and Docker (2018).
Technical Expertise
AI Engineering
Designing and building production AI systems — agent orchestration frameworks, RAG pipelines, NLP-to-SQL engines, semantic retrieval, and LLM integrations with real-time streaming and sub-second latency targets.
Distributed Systems
Architecting scalable, fault-tolerant systems: event-driven pipelines, async processing, queue-based orchestration, and multi-tenant platforms handling high-concurrency workloads.
Cloud Architecture
Designing cloud-native solutions on AWS — serverless pipelines, container orchestration on ECS and Kubernetes, disaster recovery architectures, and infrastructure automation.
System Design
Translating complex business requirements into clean, extensible architectures. Strong focus on API design, separation of concerns, and systems that remain maintainable at enterprise scale.
Data Engineering
Building incremental data sourcing pipelines, semantic modeling frameworks, and analytics infrastructure connecting operational databases with LLM-based query interfaces.
