The person behind the code

About me

I'm Sreeram Bangaru, a Founding Software Engineer and AI/Full Stack Developer. I build software that turns complex ideas into products people actually use, from backend architecture and data layers to polished user experiences. I've shipped production software across fintech, higher education, and AI-native startups.

I built Zahan.ai at Groqify from scratch, an AI platform for enterprise training with interactive exercises and real-time presenter support. My AI workflows and agent orchestration there reduced development cycle time by 35%, cut CRUD latency by 40%, and lowered infrastructure costs by 30%. I hold an MS in Computer Science from George Mason University, where I built an AI-powered student companion used by 200+ students. At DBS Bank, I supported 10M+ cross-border transactions annually with distributed microservices.

I work across the full stack but think in systems. I care about the architecture decisions that won't show up as bugs for six months, and I ship with craft.
