Open to Data / Backend / ML Platform roles

Hello, I'm Rohit

"My passion lies in leveraging technology for social impact and to address real-world challenges. I thrive in entrepreneurial environments—whether building with founders, collaborating with domain experts, or shipping products that scale. I'm eager to explore new areas and make meaningful impact across healthcare, fintech, social good, or the next big thing. Let's build something that matters."

About Me

AI-focused Software Engineer passionate about building innovative, scalable solutions.

I specialize in designing and deploying large-scale, high-performance data and AI systems at Neiman Marcus Group, supporting both customer-facing analytics and internal decision-making platforms. I'm skilled at translating complex business needs into robust technical solutions and enjoy working with cutting-edge technologies.

Prior to Neiman Marcus, I worked at NNR Global Logistics, where I tackled large-scale data challenges and contributed to modernizing pipelines across critical workflows. These experiences sharpened my understanding of software engineering best practices and the importance of building reliable, scalable systems.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Information Technology and Management from the University of Texas at Dallas. I'm driven by a desire to push boundaries and continuously explore what's next in data engineering and AI.
