About me

Profile Picture of Priyanka Birajdar
I am a with 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building scalable, production-grade systems end-to-end.

I’m passionate about creating solutions that not only work, but scale — architecting clean APIs, responsive frontends, and resilient backend systems that can support growth and real-world workloads.

I enjoy working at the intersection of software design, distributed systems, and developer tooling — with recent interest in agentic AI workflows, retrieval-augmented systems, and LLM-powered assistants that enhance engineering productivity and automate repetitive tasks.

My experience spans the full software development lifecycle: designing features, implementing React/TypeScript frontends and Java/Python services, optimizing performance with load balancers/CDNs, containerizing deployments, and shipping reliably through CI/CD pipelines in agile environments.

Experience

June 2024 - Present (full-time)

Senior Software Engineer

C3.AI, Redwood City California
  • Served as Forward Deployed Engineer owning the customer account end-to-end-working directly with plant managers, and stakeholders to architect system integrations considering operation workflows and drive full cycle delivery.
  • Designed and built a large-scale Production Schedule Optimization application used by 200+ Cargill facilities, delivering a high-performance React/Redux UI with data driven workflows.
  • Implemented Python-based data ingestion pipelines & REST APIs to extract, transform and synchronize production, inventory & order data between SAP and C3.ai’s type system, ensuring accurate, reliable & timely data flows powering the optimization engine.
  • Integrated the Gurobi optimization engine into backend microservices, formulating constraint-based models; optimized compute performance with efficient data preprocessing and asynchronous execution to deliver near real-time production schedules across facilities.
  • Developed an internal C3.ai Hackathon project: an LLM powered Batch Job Optimizer using LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI & MCP servers to autonomously analyze batch job logs, generate code fixes and create GitHub PRs..
  • Created a multi-agent workflow with a RAG pipeline over historical job metadata, reducing-batch job debugging and tuning time by 70% through automated performance recommendations.
Jan 2024 - May 2024 (full-time)

Software Engineer Intern

Tesla Inc, Fremont California
  • Developed real-time network traffic infrastructure inventory dashboard for CDN & F5 Load Balancers utilizing react/redux, graphql & python fastApis enabling comprehensive visibility into node health status & essential system metrics retrieved from Prometheus node exporter.
  • Automated the provisioning of new Varnish nodes in NetBox and applied tagging conventions to existing CDN nodes using a python-based NetBox tagging service, streamlining node management operations.
  • Configured and deployed Varnish CDN reverse proxies on virtual machines, ensuring seamless connectivity with upstream backend servers for optimized cache content delivery.
May 2023 - Aug 2023 (full-time)

Software Engineer Intern

Viasat Inc, Carlsbad California
  • Developed robust automation scripts in Golang to effectively retrieve metrics from PagerDuty RESTful APIs, implemented authentication, error handling capabilities along with database integration.
  • Implemented CI/CD scripts in Drone and set up Docker for running EC2 instances ensuring seamless integration of the scripts with the infrastructure leading to automated deployment processes.
  • Created a comprehensive dashboard for the collected data in Grafana and incorporated this visualization to provide valuable insights and facilitate data-driven decision-making.
July 2019 - July 2022 (full-time)

Software Development Engineer II

John Deere, India
  • Engineered the backend architecture across 3 Spring Boot microservices implementing core logic to validate job payloads, process geospatial field data & generate job definitions stored in PostgreSQL.
  • Built a responsive, data-driven farm management system UI using React/Redux, enabling farmers to create, visualize, and manage field operations with real-time job status updates and seamless interaction flows.
  • Implemented the end-to-end job delivery pipeline using REST, Kafka, and MQTT—generating machine-readable ISOXML task files, routing jobs through the Machine Communication Gateway (MCG), and enabling real-time feedback from the connected equipment.
  • Improved system observability by integrating Prometheus, Grafana, and Elasticsearch to monitor API latency, dispatch rates, telemetry ingestion, and cross-service traceability.
  • Participated in the John Deere Global Hackathon 2021, implementing front-end and workflow improvements to the Work Planner tool that enhanced usability, data flow, and task planning efficiency.
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines using Drone and Jenkins to enable faster continuous deployments, and designed automated end- to-end regression test suites with Cypress to ensure release reliability.
