SDE Intern

•Nava

Bengaluru, Karnataka

Core intelligence platform for autonomous cloud and datacenter operations management – Go, Python, Distributed Systems

May 2026 - November 2026

Engineering the intelligence platform for autonomous cloud and datacenter operations — deterministic retrieval, agentic reasoning, and GPU-optimal inference.

  • Built Atlas, a topology-aware graph DB with hybrid Graph-RAG fed by Brain plugin ingestors (AWS, Nava Cloud). Replaced probabilistic LLM traversal (multiple tool calls) with deterministic retrieval without LLM, cutting lookup from ≥5s to <200 ms and token cost to zero.
  • Created Cortex, an OpenCode-style agentic reasoning harness for Brain grounded in live Atlas context, with a plugin system for unified action across AWS, Nava Cloud, Sunbird DCIM and the Optimality Engine via a single tool registry and typed contracts.
  • Developed Optimality Engine, an in-house GPU-cluster simulator for LLM inference predicting cost & performance across hardware and vLLM/SGLang configs in ~10s per simulation at >96% accuracy (SWE-Bench, SemiAnalysis InferenceX, etc.), with orchestration to sweep 1M+ configs and recommend optimal hardware/runtime in <1 minute.
  • Built observability pipelines streaming and correlating metrics, logs and events from AWS/Nava Cloud and datacenter operations into Atlas/Brain for topology-aware RCA and auto-remediation.

Formal Control and Autonomous Systems (FOCAS) Lab – Dr. Pushpak Jagtap – C++, Python, ROS2

May 2025 - July 2025

Built and validated a distributed real-time control stack for indoor multi-UAV coordination on a physical 3-drone swarm.

  • Constructed a distributed real-time control stack for indoor multi-UAV coordination with motion-capture-based localization on ROS2 (Raspberry Pi) interfaced with Pixhawk via MAVLink, with 50Hz sensor fusion and sub-5ms deterministic inter-node latency.
  • Implemented Control Barrier Function (CBF) safety layer for dynamic geofencing and inter-agent collision avoidance, enabling provably safe concurrent transitions with zero violations in time-varying environments.

About Me

Beyond the Terminal

The person behind the systems — music, sport, books, and a soft spot for ambitious ideas.

Nalin Angrish

Engineer by trade, curious by default

Nalin Angrish

Open to
CollaborationsGood conversationsBook & album swapsAmbitious ideas

I'm Nalin — a systems engineer by trade and a curious person by default. Most of my days go into building software, but the rest of me lives in music, sport, and whatever book I've picked up next.

I'm drawn to fast-paced environments, the kind where decisions have weight and feedback is immediate. Startups are where that energy feels most alive to me, and building one of my own is a long-term goal I'm actively working toward.

The best part of any of it is the people. I genuinely enjoy a good conversation — about systems, music, books, business ideas, or nothing in particular. If you're building something, or just want to compare notes, reach out.

Music & Guitar

Guitar, playlists, and the occasional deep dive into an album. Music is how I switch off and reset.

Sports

Playing when I get the chance and following along the rest of the time — my favorite way to step away from a screen.

Reading

Systems, business, and fiction in equal measure. I'm always open to a recommendation.

Startups & Fast Pace

I'm drawn to small teams, high ownership, and problems where feedback is immediate. Building my own company is the long-term goal.

Let's talk.

Collaborations, ambitious ideas, or a good chat — all welcome.
