Poojith Reddy Annachedu.

I am a Computer Science graduate student at Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, and currently serving as a Software Engineer Intern at Reality AI. I specialize in full-stack development, cloud architecture, and AI integration with expertise in Spring ecosystem, microservices, and containerization technologies. My technical proficiency spans Java, Python, JavaScript, and frameworks like Spring Boot and React, complemented by experience with databases including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. At ADP, I engineered high-performance backend services and microservices that improved system throughput by 30% and enhanced fraud detection efficiency by 35%. I've successfully implemented CI/CD pipelines, observability solutions, and scaled applications using AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes. With over 400 coding problems solved on platforms like LeetCode and certifications including AWS Cloud Practitioner, I combine strong algorithmic thinking with practical engineering skills to deliver reliable, scalable, and user-centric applications.
