About Me

Hi! I'm Sahithi

I'm a full-stack developer who absolutely loves turning complex problems into elegant solutions! I thrive on building systems that scale, automating workflows that save time, and crafting AI-powered applications that make a real impact. There's nothing more exciting to me than diving into a challenging technical puzzle and emerging with something that works beautifully.

What drives me? The thrill of optimization! Whether it's shaving milliseconds off response times, reducing cloud costs by thousands, or architecting solutions that handle millions of requests I'm all in! I approach every project with curiosity and energy, always asking "How can we make this better, faster, smarter?"

I work best when I'm learning something new, collaborating with talented teams, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology. From distributed systems to machine learning models, from front-end finesse to back-end robustness. I love the entire journey of building something meaningful from the ground up!

My Projects

Unified Mortgage Pre-Check Pipeline

Built an end-to-end automated mortgage pre-check system that unifies application forms and financial documents into a single intelligent workflow. The pipeline converts form submissions into PDFs, runs OCR on W-2s, paystubs, and bank statements, and uses AI to cross-verify reported information against documents. Based on validation results, the system automatically approves clean cases for underwriting or routes failed cases through a correction loop.

Tech: n8n (workflow orchestration), OpenAI (financial validation, discrepancy detection, fraud signals), Tesseract OCR, HTTP APIs, PDF generation, Email notifications
