Arihant builds backend, cloud, and AI-enabled systems, with particular interest in microservices, APIs, databases, distributed systems, and machine learning technologies. Java and Python are Arihant’s primary languages, supported by experience with AWS, React, Bash, Terraform, Cucumber, MySQL, REST APIs, and full-stack development. At Garmin, Arihant built a canary-rollout microservice and CI/CD promotion pipeline that supported safer production releases, helped address more than 40 critical vulnerabilities in the first three weeks of release, and improved infrastructure efficiency through RDS Proxy connection pooling across more than 30 microservices. Arihant has also worked on voice-cloning infrastructure at MeetMonk, cloud provisioning and workload-management tools at Cadence, a cross-charter recruiting platform at Peak to Peak Charter School, and cybersecurity education resources with Colorado School of Mines. Earlier, Arihant taught more than 140 students at Kumon North America. ## Services - VoxCPM - SesameCSM - Maven - Spring Framework - Kotlin - Amazon Web Services \(AWS\) - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) -
