Rishabh focuses on building practical systems that apply automation, data, and emerging technologies to improve workflows and address operational challenges. His experience spans software engineering, data analytics, geospatial processing, cloud infrastructure, teaching, and student-organization leadership. At Travelers, Rishabh designed and deployed a serverless RESTful API and automated orchestration that reduced flash-flood-report processing time by approximately 95%, from more than 60 minutes to under three minutes. At LightBox, he automated georeferencing for more than 1.4 million historical Sanborn maps using Python-based geospatial and image-processing solutions. As Director of Rang de Storrs, Rishabh helps lead a 60-member organization producing New England’s largest South Asian dance competition, coordinating cross-functional operations for an audience of more than 2,000 annual attendees and viewers. He also supports technical education and community building through University of Connecticut teaching-assistant roles and leadership in the UConn Data Science Club. ## Services - AWS Lambda - API Gateway - Terraform - PostgreSQL - Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery \(CI/CD\) - Amazon SQS - Amazon Simple Notification Service \(SNS\) - GitHub - Scrum - ArcGIS Pro - Data Analysis - SQL Server Management Studio - OpenCV - Pandas \(Software\) - Rasterio - CLI - Shapely - Poetry - Pillow \(PIL Fork\) - Python \(Programming Language\) ## Highlights - Designed and deployed a serverless RESTful API at Travelers using API Gateway and Lambda, reducing flash-flood-report processing time by approximately 95%, from more than 60 minutes to under three minutes. - Implemented automated asynchronous orchestration with Amazon SQS and SNS, CI/CD pipelines, and Terraform-provisioned AWS infrastructure at Travelers to support nationwide flash flood reports. - Engineered an automated geospatial ETL pipeline at Travelers that preprocessed building footprints, integrated road networks, and filtered irrelevant structures for commercial risk assessment at scale. - Validated Travelers geospatial-pipeline outputs in ArcGIS Pro and aligned deliverables with stakeholders. - Automated georeferencing for more than 1.4 million historical Sanborn maps at LightBox, converting them into colorized digital assets and improving users’ ability to identify and process inset maps. - Built Python geospatial and image-processing solutions at LightBox with Pandas, Shapely, PyProj, and OpenCV, including coordinate transformations and AKAZE feature matching for map alignment. - Managed and optimized SQL Server pipelines at LightBox, automating exports and analyses into CSV and JSON formats for improved accessibility, integration, and downstream analytics efficiency. - Helps lead Rang de Storrs, a 60-member organization producing New England’s largest South Asian dance competition. - Oversees sponsorship, logistics, marketing, and production operations for Rang de Storrs helps manage a five-figure operating budget and supports annual event execution for more than 2,000 attendees and viewers. - Organizes UConn Data Science Club workshops in Python, machine learning, and data visualization, as well as industry talks and panels with professionals in data science, finance, and technology. - Led labs, office hours, and exam proctoring for more than 100 undergraduates as a Data Structures and Object-Oriented Design teaching assistant at the University of Connecticut. - Taught object-oriented programming, algorithmic complexity, sorting and searching, dynamic programming, and core data structures including linked lists, graphs, trees, and hash tables. - Instructed students in the Python data-science pipeline, including BeautifulSoup, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn, as a Teaching Assistant for Advanced Data Analytics with Python. - Mentored students in developing portfolio-ready projects that demonstrated problem-solving and analytical skills. ## Experience - **Director at Rang de Storrs** (2025-04-01–present) — As Director of Rang de Storrs, I help lead a 60-member organization producing New England’s largest South Asian dance competition.
