# Harikrishna Guddati

**Headline:** Professional profile
**Location:** Iowa City, IA, USA

## About

Harikrishna Guddati is a software engineer focused on designing and delivering secure, scalable systems and data workflows. He is strongest in end-to-end technical ownership: taking complex projects from system design through implementation, evaluating tradeoffs, and refactoring architecture to improve abstraction, efficiency, security, and maintainability. During a previous internship, Harikrishna designed an on-demand data-extraction system that moved dealership data from a dealer management system \(DMS\) into a CRM. His work spans distributed infrastructure across multiple platforms and secure-system design involving authentication, OAuth, and sensitive credential management. Harikrishna has hands-on experience with AWS, including DynamoDB, S3, and Secrets Manager. He is most comfortable with TypeScript and JavaScript, particularly GraphQL, NestJS, and Next.js, and also has some experience with Go. Harikrishna approaches redundant workflows by turning them into reusable actions and creates clear documentation that others can build on. He combines hands-on implementation with systems thinking and is willing to revisit designs when doing so can reduce complexity or strengthen security.
