I work as part of a small, agile team of six where everyone wears multiple hats\. From the inception of product development, I’ve been involved end\-to\-end — brainstorming product ideas, designing features, and building across the stack: frontend, backend, databases, DevOps, deployment, and site reliability engineering\. This has given me the chance to contribute not just as a developer but also as a product thinker\. Key contributions: \-> AI\-driven QA solution: Helped design and develop a platform to accelerate, improve and scale software testing processes\. \->Agentic AI workflows: Designed diverse workflows on a no\-code/low\-code platform to showcase how people with little or no programming experience can implement their ideas\. The goal was not to replace programming, but to let AI handle repetitive, manual tasks and streamline broken or time\-consuming processes across domains\. - **AI Software Engineer at Citi** (2025–2026) - **Software Engineer at CGI** (2021–2022) — Developed a prototype to integrate 2FA \(Two Factor Authentication\) for our web application using the TOTP algorithm \(RFC 6238\) to enhance security with a reduction in account compromise by 90% Refactored the UI design to enhance the user experience easing the application navigation - **Product Deployment Intern at Goodera** (2020–2020) — Deployed Goodera's SAAS platform GMS to automate the Grant Management Cycle of a Grant Program, analyzing the business requirements to act as a common repository of data and automate the CSR lifecycle and management\. We had to analyze, access the BRDs, and customize the product across 8 different APAC countries with more than 1 million end users\. - **Intern at Finnacle Investment Academy** (2019–2019) — Designed dashboards using a BI tool ‘QlikView’ to visualize the data of 1000 students across 6 branches supporting the administration for smooth and informed operations\. ## Education - Master of Science \- MS, Information Technology and Management — Naveen Jindal School of Management, UT Dallas (2023–2024) - BE \- Bachelor of Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering — Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2017–2021) - Minor, Accounting and Finance — Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2018–2020) ## FAQ ### What does Jayadeep do?
