Vishnu Vivek

I build systems that scale.

CS grad student at the University of Florida, working across backend, full-stack, and ML. Open to full-time software engineering roles.

Available for SWE rolesGainesville, FL ·

I'm Vishnu Vivek Valeti, a graduate student in Computer Science at the University of Florida. I build software that is scalable, performant, and production-ready, from clean React interfaces and concurrent Go backends to ML training pipelines on AWS.

Currently, I'm a Software Engineer Intern at ReplyQuick LLC, where I build scalable training pipelines processing 5,000+ dental images, develop PyTorch evaluation utilities, and integrate ML inference outputs with backend APIs using versioned schemas. Previously at UF, I built FastAPI-based backends containerized with Docker, reducing result-serving latency from 900ms to 280ms. I also built extensions for Droppy (macOS) that have accumulated 2,000+ downloads combined. I ship measurable outcomes, collaborate across engineering teams, and improve systems with a calm, methodical approach.

What I work with

  • Full-stack development with React, Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, and Docker
  • Machine learning pipelines with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and AWS (S3, EC2, SageMaker)
  • Backend APIs with FastAPI, Express.js, and gRPC
  • Cloud & DevOps with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
  • Clean code practices with TypeScript, comprehensive testing, and CI/CD

  1. Software Engineer Intern

    ReplyQuick LLC

    Gainesville, FL
    PythonFastAPIPydanticPostgreSQLDocker

    Shipped 8 versioned REST API endpoints in FastAPI with typed Pydantic schemas, replacing fragile client-side post-processing logic by moving validation to the server layer so client teams stopped patching schema mismatches in their integrations. Standardized service deployments with environment-based configuration, centralized logging, and CI/CD-ready artifacts, cutting new environment setup time from 2 hours to under 30 minutes. Built a Python data ingestion pipeline that processed 5,000+ dental images with schema validation and structured error reporting that surfaced failed records with full diagnostic context. Developed PostgreSQL-backed metrics storage and comparison reports for image-processing pipeline runs, reducing reviewer analysis time by 30% and enabling run-over-run quality tracking.

  2. Graduate Student Assistant

    University of Florida

    Gainesville, FL
    PythonFastAPIAWSPostgreSQLDocker

    Engineered a data pipeline on AWS (S3, EC2) with PostgreSQL to manage structured research datasets, cutting query retrieval time by 35% through composite indexing and table partitioning. Containerized REST APIs in Python (FastAPI) with Docker, reducing p95 response latency from 900ms to 280ms via query optimization and connection pooling. Built a React/FastAPI analytics dashboard with reusable data-visualization components for dataset size, labels, and ingestion status, cutting weekly research reporting overhead by 30%.

  3. Software Development Intern

    Vignan University

    Guntur, India
    ReactNode.jsMySQLOAuth 2.0RBAC

    Delivered attendance and staff-management features for a full-stack React/Node.js/MySQL academic portal serving 2,500+ daily active users, resolving open bug tickets across the attendance and staff modules over a 5-month engagement. Automated batch attendance workflows (mark-all, quick-edit), saving ~40 hours per week across 5 departments by eliminating repetitive per-student actions. Optimized slow SQL JOIN queries via MySQL indexing and query refactoring, reducing page load time from 3.2s to 1.0s. Implemented role-based access control (RBAC) and OAuth 2.0 authentication on grade and results endpoints, blocking unauthorized access paths flagged during pre-launch security testing.
